VIDEO: LUKE JAMES - MO BETTA BLUES

Danja's artist Luke James' new joint. So spacious and on point. Great hearing someone sing like this on a contemporary sounding r&b record. Those drums at the end too!!!

VIDEO: M.I.A. - BAD GIRLS

Produced by Danja. Sounds like vintage Timbo. 4 million views in a couple days.

WTF: DAVID GUETTA & AFROJACK VS JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

You remember this incredible segway by Timbaland and Danja between JT's "Love Stoned" and "I Think She Knows"? well David Guetta & Afrojack's recently leaked track "Pandemonium" features an eerily similar beat. Listen below and decide whether you think its coincidence or some wholesale jacking...

PS. Take note of the similarity in drum programming in the intro...

VIDEO: KEVIN COSSOM MINI-DOCUMENTARY

Kevin Cossom is one of the only songwriter/artists left that I feel has the ability to transform commercial R&B music into something credible again.

Check out Danja's production setup with the towers of synths surrounding him. Crazy.

Danja talks upcoming projects including T.I., Britney and Kevin Cossom.

VIDEO: DIRTY MONEY FEAT NICKI MINAJ & RICK ROSS - HELLO GOOD MORNING (REMIX)

It's probably worth just skipping to 1.30 for Nicki's verse and watch her, co-incidentally or not, channel Kim more than ever in the wardrobe department (see below), completely murk this beat in the only way she can and continue to make some of the most bizarre facial expressions in pop music history. So rad.

And I am just posting this because seeing a blue-wigged Nicki next to Diddy reminded me of this video, check the legendary Aaliyah cameo.

VIDEO: THE CLIPSE IN THE STUDIO WITH DANJA

That beat sounds pretty great. As does Pusha's verse.

KEVIN COSSOM - HOOK VS BRIDGE

I love what Danja and his N.A.R.S. label are doing with developing Kevin Cossom as an artist. They first released a free teaser EP earlier in the year and now a free 14 song EP with Hook Vs Bridge.

BUSTA RHYMES - SHOOT FOR THE MOON

The Danja produced "Shoot For The Moon" is taken from Busta's EIGHTH! studio album Back On My BS.

Since Universal Music have made blogger delete both of our previous posts promoting their recent releases, Chrisette Michele's Epiphany and Royksopp's Junior, I wont be direct linking to another mp3 directly from a Universal artists album. I'm not even quite sure why I continue to help promote their artists when all they seem to do is threaten to shut down Affinity Blog.

KEVIN 'KC' COSSUM - PRE-ALBUM

Kevin 'KC' Cossom is the first artist signed to DanjaHandz new N.A.R.S. label. As a songwriter he is responsible for songs including Rick Ross "Speedin", Jeezy's "Go Getta", Lloyd Banks "Karma" and many others.

CIARA - I'M ON (PRODUCED BY DANJA)

Ciara - I'm On

Since Ciara's project is supposedly scrapped I shouldn't get in trouble for posting this new lil ditty from Ci Ci right? Produced by Danja As pointed out by Talisa in the comments, this joint is actually produced by Chris & Teeb and penned by the girls Antea & Anesha Birchett (APlus).

Apologies for the mis-information.

Dope regardless.

STILL AMAZED DANJA PRODUCED THIS

Pink - Sober

Unlike Timbo, Danja manages to produce another well received pop/rock song. With that said, I love the Chris Cornell/Timbo joints I've heard thus far.
