The new remix that dropped last night on Hot 97. NSFW, but you can turn it up subliminally.

BamaLoveSoul.Com is happy to present its first remix compilation, The Street Lamp Sessions Vol.1: The Remixes! Some of your favorite tunes were remixed by carefully selected producers to give you a nocturnal emission of the sonic kind.

The Street Lamp Sessions Vol.1: The Remixes, we’re proud to say, is your introduction to some of the best producers in Alabama. While you’re listening, make sure you also check out the crew’s website’s latest look at the newly remodeled BamaLoveSoul.Com
