DJcity Exclusive: The Chainsmokers ft. Siren – Kanye (Extended Mix)

The Chainsmokers
The Chainsmokers have followed up their breakout hit “#Selfie” with a new single titled “Kanye” and DJcity has the exclusive extended version of the track.
 
The duo told DJcity that the song isn’t “meant to be a joke or a shot at Kanye,” rather, it’s about his attitude towards life:
 

“Love Kanye or hate him — the guy does what he wants. So this song is about doing just that: yourself. It doesn’t matter if you’re driving a sh#t car or a Bentley: if you’re happy with yourself and feel like you’re killing it — that’s all that matters. It’s about not giving a f#ck and living life as you see it and no one does that better than ‘Ye.”

 
Shout out to The Chainsmokers for the exclusive!

Rick Rubin Talks Working On Kanye West’s ‘Yeezus’


It’s reasonable to say that music wouldn’t be the same without Rick Rubin’s contributions. After co-founding Def Jam Recordings in 1984 with Russell Simmons, Rubin has steadily amassed an incredible discography – producing some of the most influential records of all-time. His production credits include the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Run-D.M.C., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Adele, Kanye West…the list goes on.

In a recent interview with Newsweek, Rubin sheds light on what it was like executive producing Kanye West’s Yeezus in a staggering 16 days. Rubin also touches on a multitude of topics including his early transition from punk rock to hip-hop, The Beatles, the formula for a great song and more.

In-depth interviews with legends of this caliber are rare. We recommended reading the entire interview and soaking up the wisdom and knowledge.

“There’s a tremendous power in using the least amount of information to get a point across.” – Rick Rubin
