Jern Eye

​San Francisco's BOAC has a number of notable remixes and tracks that he's produced on his Web site. He's tackled hip-hop's titans (his version of Eminem's "Crack a Bottle" sounds so much fiercer than the original) and worked with indie faves (Sunspot Jonz and Luckyiam). I'm really digging BOAC's remix of Oakland rapper Jern Eye, though. Jern's new album Vision is out now, and he teamed with the local producer to spin off a fresh version of "Get Down."

The single has BOAC playing piano, synth, and percussion, adding extra funk to a song that already builds up a serious sweat on its way to the dance floor. The track also includes a verse from Z-Man!, who quips, "I miss Ol' Dirty like I miss Lil' Kim's nose; her first nose..." (If you like Z-Man!'s contribution, the San Francisco rapper is about to drop a free EP, Show Up Shut Up and Rap).
