Emerging Nigerian R&B singer and songwriter Sammy which we featured here at the start of the year comes with this neat little refix track and adds his own spin to the US Smash hit "Motivation" by Kelly Rowland and Lil Wayne.

iRefix... Cynikal + Debbie Aramide - What's My Name (Rihanna Cover)

Check out this new refix/cover of Rihanna's smash hit 'What's My Name?' that London-based emerging Hip-Hop artist and producer, Cynikal just shot my way. It features emerging singer/song-writer Debbie Aramide on the hook...

What do you reckon? I like Cynikal as a rapper and I enjoy his flow and lyrics on this one but something about Ms. Aramide on the hook just doesn't work for me. I can't quite place my fingers on it BUT she didn't really own it, did she? I was starting to feel her lil adlibing at the end of the song though... Maybe you can tell me what was missing, if anything at all?

iTUNE... Los Rakas + Faviola - Abrazame (Gyptian's Hold Yuh Cover)

I was just browsing through The Fader's Listomania 2010 and I bumped into this on one of their lists & I was completely blown away! As far as covers or refixes go and especially of this song that has had bucket loads of covers/refixes in 2010, this ONE is damn near perfect! I wouldn't go as far as saying it's better than the original Gyptian song BUT I definitely prefer this one right now!!! Listen to NY Producer, Uproot Andy add his twist to the tune right after as well, do NOT skip it!!!

Los Rakas are an emerging Latin Dancehall/Reggae/Hip-Hop/Alternative group hailing from Panama who now reside in California and you can SHOULD peep the official video for the Uproot Andy remix of this HUGE banger right below!

Damn I really need to learn how to DJ going into 2011 because damn how can you know about this tune and NOT drop it in between your set? I don't get it! Anyway...
