Hood Politics Records Boldly Reinvents Iconic Bass Tracks for House Heads In New EP, “Dubstep Forever”
DJ Susan‘s Hood Politics Records is thinking outside the genre with their latest compilation, Dubstep Forever.

However, they’re now taking a trip to the dark side by outfitting some of the world’s most popular dubstep tracks for the club dancefloor. Hood Politics Susan himself kickstarts the imaginative effort alongside Broken Future with a fresh spin on Zomboy’s “Like a Bitch.” The blistering basslines tear through the sonic spectrum with furious barks in this instant party-starter.

Hip-Hop Wired Presents: CRT FRSH [Certified Fresh] Playlist 9.30.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: damircudic / Getty What up, Hip-Hop Wired Nation? We’re a little late updating our last edition of CRT FRSH AKA Certified Fresh by one day.
