G-Side: “I’m Sorry (Jake One Remix)”
[Unreleased]

I’m never going to be in a position where I can claim to be any sort of expert on hip-hop, but it’s been easy to see that there is a distinct changing of the guard in it’s ranks over the past couple of years. Younger artists like the gang behind Odd Future are striking out on their own early on in life while veteran rappers like the duo behind G-Side and Shabbaz Palaces are finding different avenues to introduce their music to a wider range of audiences at later stages in their career. It’s an exciting movement to watch and one which all of us as music appreciators are better off for.

The Jake One remix of G-Side’s “I’m Sorry” strips away almost all of the soundtrack from the original track and replaces it with a lazy rolling piano line and an insanely tight beat that will have you slowing down as you drive to match it’s laid-back tempo.
