The 87 Stick Up Kids are aspiring throwback party rappers from L.A. They're promoting a new single, which you can check out here. It's called "Lights, Camera" and I'm on the fence about it: The beat is dumb hot (almost anything with distorted bass and a variation on the Amen break is gold in my book), but the track needs less lyrics to really bang. I find myself distracted by dude's proficient lyrical abilities. I'd rather listen than dance, but the beat wants me to jump around, so I get conflicted. I don't know, I hope I'm not the only one, but I can't dance and process clever punchlines at the same time.
All that is to say that while listening to the aforementioned song, I stumbled across this other song, which I like alot - a remix of Peter Bjorn & John's "Nothing to Worry About." It features the 87 Stick Up Kids along with U.N.I. and a Swedish fellow named Adam Tensta. The vibe is right on this one all day.
