KJ-52 Remixed

Remixed is a remix album by KJ-52, featuring a reggaeton mix of Behind the Musik's "Jesus", "47 Emcees (Plus 18 More Mix)" which reimagines the originally beatbox-driven track with multiple layered beats, each corresponding to the verse's genre; East Coast, West Coast, old school, and Dirty South, and an angst-driven, Linkin Park-inspired nu metal remix of hit "Are You Real?" featuring an emo rock hook provided by Falling Up's Jessy Ribordy. Unlike most rap remix albums, the songs' lyrics are also reimagined here with at least first verse of each track rewritten.

gollark: * worse
gollark: <@151391317740486657> This is moronically dumb.
gollark: Wait, is this obfuscated bytecode thing just loading *more* XORed code from somewhere?
gollark: Huh, getmetatable, I did worry about that. Perhaps it is some sort of strange interaction between the nil/string metatables features and the potatOS core.
gollark: Oh, a pcall exploit, possibly. We had lots of those.
