Fly Gypsy Premiers New “Drop the World (Remix)” (Listen & Download)

RefinedHype favorites Fly Gypsy (a.k.a. emcee Kowboy Kom and producer Alexei) are in the midst of an remixtape project (see their "I Wanna Rock (Brooklyn Remix)"), and if you're familiar with their always adventurous style, you shouldn't be surprised the dynamic duo decided to touch Lil Wayne and Eminem's controversially rocking "Drop the World". I think we can all agree that you hear my voice way too much, so I'll turn things over to Fly Gypsy for the remainder of the world premier of their"Drop the World (Remix)". Be sure to cop the "FG*XL:remixtape" when it drops March 16.

"The idea of touching the epic "Drop the World" by Lil' Wayne and Eminem would probably be considered ill-advised by most. Rhyming alongside two of the game's greatest emcees on what might well be the highlight of their careers so far could make even established artists appear better suited for the Apollo Amateur Night.

Nevertheless, Fly Gypsy's Kom and Alexei decided to give it a go. Kom added an aggressive 28-bar verse, Alexei contributed some rock-infused distortion guitar. "I was fully aware of the criticism that could come from this one, so I went hard, and I think my verse would quiet even the worst critic," says the group's emcee Kom. "I re-wrote it three times before I felt I could hold my own next to Em and Lil' Wayne, both of whom I have much respect for."

While the focus of the song is most certainly on the three emcees, the group's producer Alexei gave the synth-heavy track an added rock flavor, channeling Nirvana with aggressive guitar riffs. "To me, the song is the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' of the current generation, so I wanted to give it that extra drive that you can only get with live guitars," says Alexei. "This is not a remix. We saw the vision of Lil' Wayne and Eminem, as well as the song's producers, and we built on it. We think that both Wayne and Em would like what we had done."
