It’s an indie hip-hop meeting of the giants, as Tanya Morgan has called upon production duo Keelay & Zaire to remix their hit “So Damn Down.” Gone are the jazzy strings, and in is the undoubtedly Zaire bass line. While the original featured a scenic hook, the remix has a quintessential Kee and Zee feel: gritty drumbeat, huge synth hits, and J Dilla-esque siren calls and samples. The upbeat flow of Tanya Morgan’s original verses has been replaced by an East Coast hard cadence, but if you haven’t heard the original it would be tough to believe this is a remix. The blend of artists is so solid there should definitely be a larger collaboration in the future.
