HDYNATion forever, y’all. It formed the basis for the HDYNation, for the countless “Damn son, where’d you find this” jokes, for basically everything people identify Floss with today. This remix gave Flosstradamus its signature sound. In an era when songs like Watch The Throne’s “Niggas in Paris” and Big Sean’s “Dance (A$$)” were absolutely dominating, it was an immediately gratifying sound. Flosstradamus before this had been kind of an electro duo experimenting with different sounds and genre-blends. It was the first time dance fans heard Southern trap beats over a house derivative. It was a bit of a moment, but nothing could have prepared the world or Flosstradamus for that matter for the moment this remix would birth. It was Diplo‘s first experiments with the hardstyle world, the music video was funky but addictive. The Mad Men-inspired tune (Don Draper, bro) from Major Lazer was strange on its own. It’s hard to put “Original Don” into words. This is a Flosstradamus song for the real ones, word up. It’s more subtle than festival anthem, the kind of song you smoke a blunt to in the back of the club or put on blast to test out your new car sound system. This is the kind of dark beat that stops a first-time listener in their tracks, especially in 2012 when no one had ever heard anything like it. Flosstradamus – “ Test Me” with DJ Sliink The title track from the Soundclash EP is real funky with a mean streak, like that dude on the corner with the big smile and the gold teeth who will hit you with the glock if you say the wrong thing.Ģ. Troyboi is another monster in the studio, so you know a joint with both Troyboi and Floss was destined to be kill. Flosstradamus – “ Soundclash” with Troyboi Straight from his Floss collab “From The Back.”ģ. Shout out to Danny Brown for the vocal sample, too. It’s half sativa, half indica, all dankness. ![]() Those tinny 808 drums are perfectly juxtaposed over the dreamy synths, and when things go all footwork on ’em, your body is ready. The Baauer remix is iconic, but let us not forget the original drifting marijuana anthem. It’s a sensitive side of the group, and it’s one of the last Flosstradamus songs we have of the pair together. They got with Post Maloneand Key! to write this come up anthem, a love letter if you will to the blocks that raised them. Post Malone and Key!įloss have always been good about reppin’ their city, the Windy City, the one they call Chi-town. Flosstradamus – “ Came Up” with FKi1st and graves feat. Even if we just had the epic pitched sample, it would be a certified slammer.ĥ. His cartoonish tenor and wild sexual storytelling is raw enough, but its the hyper beat that makes this tune a catalog favorite. Danny Brownĭanny Brown is super NSFW on this one. When they hit you with the hardstyle, that’s when it was game over.Ħ. Of course Floss had to tap Waka Flocka Flame, literal king of the turn up, to bless the beat with some boisterous lyrics. This is the kind of drop that melts faces, ruins lives, and makes nights. It’s big, it’s loud, it’s bossy, and it’s a little bit dangerous. In a lot of ways, this song epitomizes the genre. Now this is what festival trap is all about. It’s just another example of how dope Flosstradamus’ trap-infused tweaks can really change a song into something infinitely doper.ħ. This song is mysteriously hard to find online, which might have something to do with the sample of Dutch Master’s “Recall to Life,” but we think it goes rather hard anyway, so we’re putting it on this list. “Mosh Pit” is a Flosstradamus song that captures the essence of their show, but you still won’t understand unless you live it. They couldn’t even play Chicago for a while because they started a literal riot in the streets 2012. Even back when they were playing to small rooms, they had the sauce. Part of what makes fans follow Floss so closely is the incredible energy of the duo’s live shows. A must-listen cut from the Soundclash EP.ĩ. That whisper rap is a dope touch, the perfect accompaniment to Floss’ toned down bass beat. To get a verse from RTJ is a seriously cool co-sign, and Sizzy Rocket is that girl from Las Vegas getting the beat wet. ![]() Flosstradamus – “Don’t Trip” feat. Sizzy Rocket and Run The Jewelsįirst of all, Run The Jewels are two of the sickest rappers on deck and certainly one of if not the dopest duo touching mics today. Here is our list of the 10 best Flosstradamus songs:ġ0. Flosstradamus' Josh Young Announces Split, Will Focus on Solo Project in 2017 ![]()
