Featuring remixes of “The Route” by Wordburgler, “Yeah” by Noah 23 ft. Moka Only and many more mind-blowing tracks, Joshua’s Dreamixes is a surreal journey through twenty-two songs.
Stand out tracks:
“BRIAN WILSON”: D-SISSIVE RAPS ABOUT THE TRAGIC DEATH OF HIS FATHER, HIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL INTO DEPRESSION, AND HIS TIME SPENT IN A COMA. THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST EMOTIONALLY RAW RAP SONG EVER.
“NONE MISSING” : IMAGINE THE AWARD-WINNING STAR OF STAGE AND SCREEN, ALAN ALDA, RAPPING. NOW, IMAGINE HIM RAPPING ABOUT WORKING CLASS TRIBULATIONS. PUT THAT OVER A BEAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE MAX ROACH- MEETS-A-FUNKY BASS GROOVE, AND YOU HAVE AN IDEA HOW THIS SONG SOUNDS.
“TOM CRUISE” : IRA LEE RAPS ABOUT HIS HATRED FOR HOLLYWOOD LEADING MAN, TOM CRUISE. LEE ATTACKS TOM’S FEMININE HANDS, HIS BELIEF IN L. RON HUBBARD’S CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY, HIS LACK OF ACTING SKILLS AND HIS CRAZY PUBLICITY STUNTS.
