Firstly, we have to commend the Ty team in having a clear road map for this release. The journey is filled with anticipation and build ups, and everything seems to be going according to plan.
Now we have the actual release of “Emotions,” the single. What is very apparent with the teasers received thus far is, there are no digging in the crates Dilla bites, no far-reaching eclecticism of Sa-Ra track — it’s simply, Ty! Calling upon some of UK’s renowned producers for these remixes — Daz-I-Kue, Dego and Akwasi, and Waajeed — who all bring something unique to “Emotions.” This year is definitely turning into what I predicted—The Year of the Eargasm. It’s seldom when you buy a single and every mix, including the original, is rock solid. Emotions is that! Check out the Waajeed mix below and head over to iTunes to get yourself a copy. The album, Special Kind of Fool hits in April 19th. Mark your calendars; you won’t want to feel the shame of having a late pass in your hand with this one!
Editorial Addition: DJ Bounce put together a “Something Big! Mixtape, available for free download and features the broad range of collaborations Ty has recorded with friends all over the world. Download links for “Something Big! Mixtape” are Usershare or MediaFire
