DJ Arems "Armed To The Teeth" Mixtape!

"He got the strong Arm, Dj Arems! Breaking it down on your mixtape, Don't run away be scared! Dj Arems yo Choclair!" Hahaha yessir, Bringing back the Real Hip hop! DJ Arems reps The Faction Sound Crew's roots with his 2004 hip hop mixtape "Armed To The Teeth." This banger excelled DJ Arem's mixtape production game to another level once again. Coming off the success of 2003's "Make Monkey Face" this focuses more on the grind and grit, staying away from the club hits. The cover tells the whole story....Dj Arems ain't messing around son! Who else do you know with MOP drops? nobody!

If you are a hip hop head or just love Faction mixtapes this is for you you you!!

Faction Remiz - DJ Arems' Rasklatt Remiz 1.2

Some people know wus up... THEY DO the Stanky Legg. Other people are all "Ohh it's such a stupid song...the dance sucks!" Are you kidding me? This track's so nice we remixed it TWICE. Look out for The Faction's B-More Version to hit the Blog soon but, for now, I hope you'll be bumpin the Rasklatt Version for years to come. Cuz let's face it, the song is a classic. Hip Hop at it's finest. Just don't blow your knee out at the club this weekend when you DO IT. Two versions zipped up, one with SFX, one without.

Faction Remiz - DJ Arems' Rasklatt Remixes 1.1

So apparently posting remixes and blends isn't kosher with some people in this world. We posted some Rasklatt Dancehall Remixes a few days ago and the next day the post was gone. I guess some sort of laws were violated. Who knows. Here's a Re-Up of the two mixes that were posted the other day. Hopefully you're able to get these blends this time.
