Yesterday, we let you know that Waka Flocka is planning to release an "EDM-Based" album. While he mentioned Flosstradamus, Diplo, and Skrillex (among some "underground producers") as acts he was already working with, DAD realized that we've already heard some examples of what a "Waka Flocka EDM album" would be. We're not saying he's about to link up with Tiesto and knock out this turnt-up trance anthem, but if one of today's most vibrant sounds in EDM is trap, Flocka might have it easy.
Based on the remixes we've already heard, we're hoping that Waka Flocka is a bit adventurous. Don't just stick to the trap sound; hit up some dubstep producers, or even try your hand at grime. Here is what DAD thinks Flocka's EDM album could sound like.
Waka Flocka - "Rooster In My Rari (TNGHT Remix)"
Munchi - "F**k This"
Waka's great for a chant, and one of his realest gets thrown into Munchi's sampler, and becomes the driving force in his trap-meets-bubbling banger. We're not sure if Waka could spit to the bubbling section, but an instrumental that had bubbling on the hook? Imagine the twerking going down during that part at live Waka shows..
Antiserum & Mayhem - "Brick Squad Anthem"
Fused Forces & DJ Cable - "Flocka Riddim"
Waka Flocka - "O Lets Do It (Heroes Villains Remix)"
If Waka's looking for some EDM in his neck of the woods, all he needs to do is hit up Heroes x Villains, who have been pioneering that sounds for years. We imagine it won't be as dubsteppy as this classic remix, but this is another lane Waka could easily assimilate to.
MGK ft. Waka Flocka - "Wild Boy (Styles&Complete Remix)"
The way DAD sees it, Flocka's EDM album will basically just be him dipping more into the EDM trap sound, and guys like Styles&Complete know how to satisfy both crowds, letting an MC breathe before pulling the rug from under you and letting that beat bang.
Waka Flocka - "Murda (WHITE RING Remix)"
WHITE RING might not be known to many, but if Flocka wanted some music that fit in perfectly with what he's already doing (with just a hint of that turn up), he should look no further than this NY, NY producer.
Waka Flocka - "Grove St. Party (DJ Bassel Remix)"
Waka Flocka ft. RA Diggs & Uncle Murda - "Live By The Gun (HULK's Armor Piercing VIP)"
Waka Flocka - "Hard In Da Paint ((Bellizio Remix) Crizzly Edit)"
The Cataracs ft. Waka Flocka & Kaskade - "ALL YOU (Kid Cedek 'ATL Trappin' Remix)"
Yes, Flocka has already worked with Kaskade and The Cataracs, and we imagine he could call on them for some more of that EDM love, right?
