Kanye West: "Hold My Liquor" (Million $ Mano Remix)
Treated Crew King and Kanye West's DJ, Million $ Mano, dropped his remix for "Hold My Liquor" - a fan favorite off of Yeezy's latest album, Yeezus. The track, although maintaining Yeezy's sound, adds a little something extra - something extra dope, that is. Check out the Chief Keef and Justin Vernon crooning track below - which version of the track are you feeling more?
Blanco Caine: "Front My Move" (Million$Mano Remix)" (feat. Tree & Mikkey Halsted)
Blanco Caine's "Front My Move" was a banger even before Tree & Mikkey Halsted graced the remix; but once the three emcees knocked it out, the track became a fan-favorite all across the nation and got a lot of online radio play. Then, Million$Mano came along, added a grittier sound to the production and cemented the record as a true Chicago classic. Now the team is back with the official video for the remix as we wait on Blanco's White America.

Beyonce: "Party" (Million $ Mano REMIX)
Million $ Mano has cemented himself as a true trendsetter in fashion (check out his latest feature on Nylon Guys Mag), but it should not be forgotten that he's as influential in the musical scene. There's a reason why a Million $ Mano co-sign is so valued in Chicago and also why he's Yeezy's go-to DJ, dude is a master at his craft. He recently flipped Beyonce's "Party" and gave it a Mano sound, check it out below.
[Closed Sessions] Ninjasonik: "How We Treat'em" feat M$M & Hollywood Holt
We recorded this session during Pitchfork 2010, during a hectic Friday afternoon. The night before we had our first Digital Freshness at Beauty Bar with Freddie Gibbs, and this sessions was actually set up around 3AM after the bar closed and craziness subsided. Ninjasonik was not playing at Pitchfork, but they had a couple after parties and were in Chicago for a few days hanging with Million $ Mano and Hollywood Holt, friends and crew members that shared a relationship that existed way beyond the music.
It was Mano that pushed to make this session happen even though I was initially hesitant because of Digital Freshness and the day's other session with Freddie Gibbs and YP, and our party the next day with Yelawolf. The grind won out, and after just a few hours of sleep, we hit SoundScape to record with Ninjasonik, Hollywood Holt, Mano, and Roofeeo, who was serving as Ninjasonik's DJ that weekend. I'm glad we did. The resulting record, "This Is How We Treat'em" is one my favorites from the project, and given everything that's happening now with the Treated Crew, Ninjasonik and Roofeeo, it serves as a foreshadowing piece of history.
"How We Treat'em" is the fourth release from Closed Sessions Vol. 2, the new album and documentary series from the independent Chicago-based Hip Hop label Closed Sessions. The album will be released as a free download later this month presented by rubyhornet, SoundScape Studios and MTV2 Sucker Free. Download the new single, and watch the documentary below.
