I.Y.A.Z - Replay (Remix)
Artist: I.Y.A.Z
Featuring: Sean Kingston , Nipsey Hussle , Rock City , Bizzy Bone
Producer: Jonathan "J.R." Rotem
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: Time Is Money/Beluga Heights/Warner Bros
Hey, remember when we brought you this ‘official remix’ of I.Y.A.Z.’ Replay, featuring club-rapper extraordinaire Flo Rida? Well, turns out we spoke too soon – it seems that the Virgin Islands-bred singer has decided to roll with this version of the megahit single (which recently hit #1 on Billboard‘s Pop Chart). The songwriting masterminds behind Replay, Da Spokesman and Don’t Talk Much of Rock City, get their chance to shine on this revamp – their lightly Caribbean-accented vocals sound right at home over J.R. Rotem‘s synth-driven boardwork, as do those of I.Y.A.Z. label boss, Sean Kingston. A less obvious but equally dope selection, West Coast revivalist Nipsey Hussle rises to the occasion with a sexed-up verse on the front end, and Bizzy Bone rounds out the guest lineup, showcasing his inimitable sing-rapped vocal stylings later in the track. I.Y.A.Z.’ debut set has yet to receive a title or release date, but the chart-smashing success of Replay should ensure it hits store shelves sooner than later. In the meantime, fans should be sure to check out I.Y.A.Z.’ recent, Booth-exclusive interview with DJ Z.

While I am always a fan of star-studded remixes, the original "Replay" is undoubtedly the best. Nipsey and Bizzy both sound out of place here, despite Sean and the Rock City boys sounding at home.
This cannot hurt a record that just reached #1, but a few better guest 16 choices could have really elevated this to staying-power status. |

Man, just when I almost had this song out of mu head. Not remotely surprised to see Sean Kingston here, but Bizzy Bone? The same dude who wrote 2st of da Month? Wow, how times have changed. Ultimately this song's all about the chorus, and the verses only ironically make us wait longer for it to hit. Sometimes less is more.

To be honest, I really wasn't feeling this. The beat needs to pick up a little bit. It was way too slow on the verses. I really don't think Nipsey and Bizzy were the best fits here (I like the idea of getting some less predictable artists on here, but that idea is better left on paper). But even SK and Rock city didn't blow me away here (probably in part due to the minimalistic production on the verses). Overall, this was really a letdown in my opinion.

Also, I thought they could have made this remix great by switching up the production and putting the right artists on here. This is the kind of song that the sky is the limit in terms of ideas for a remix. Someone needs to bring some creativity to the game. Tired of these generic remixies.

Sean Kingston drags it down a little bit, but the other guests do their thing on this...would have liked a revamped beat to make it better

I got real goosebumps in the intro! Too bad it lost a lot of energy deeper into the song. But yea, this song is so used :(

Bizzy Bone's falsetto in this song is so irritating and randomly popping out of nowhere...
Nipsey was an okay addition, but the two reggae-singers and songwriters of this song: Kingston and RC both fit in perfectly. Could've used something different from Iyaz. Again. |
