Jay-Z Feat. Santogold "Brooklyn (Go Hard)"

Jay-Z expresses his international influences via the delivery of his West Indian sorta accent with the help of Santogold's funk-da-fyed edgy U.K. new wave style. Jay says "boom-bye-bye" to the man that tests his "stye." The track is produced courtesy of Kanye West although the music is sampled from Santogold's "Shove It." Check out Fader.com for the full song. I think this is a good strategy for people to discover what Santogold has going on. As far as favorites, I personally prefer "Shove It" - the effects of water streaming, thick rhythms and the overall infectious, reggae sound does more for me. "Brooklyn (Go Hard)" seems to be a more commercialized and simpler version. But different sounds for different audiences...perhaps yes, especially since "Brooklyn (Go Hard)" will be featured in the Biggie biopic soundtrack, Notorious. Nonetheless, you be the judge and take a listen to Santogold's "Shove It."
