Music - 2004

Great songs of 2004 (Thus Far)

1. Cee-Lo - I'll Be Around
(Timbaland produced, bass heavy horn hits and a drum sample reminiscent of the Neptune's track "What Happened to that Boy." Great verses from Cee-Lo as well.)

2. Memphis Bleek (Feat. Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel) - Murda Murda
(Final version of a track done almost two years ago, finally released as a single. The beat on this version is a lot more precise, the verses (especially Jay-Z's) are ridiculously tight...great track.)

3. Belle and Sebastian - I'm A Cuckoo (Avalanches Remix)
(I'm no Belle and Sebastian fan, but the Avalanches remix of this track is pretty awesome. They replace the cliched jangly guitar-pop melodies with flute lines and a percussion sample...quality.)

4. Busta Rhymes, Chingy, Fat Joe, and Nick Cannon - Shorty (Put it on the Floor)
(The first GREAT Just Blaze beat of 2004)
