Even if Migos and Trinidad James weren't staples in dance music, we'd probably upload this record anyways because we're ignorant and we do things like that from time to time.  Migos are still getting spins from Carnage's "Bricks," Trinidad Jame$' "All Gold Everything" was one of the most remixed and sampled rap records of 2013, and the combination of both of these names on one tune is news in itself.  The connecting factor that we're interested in here is a producer named J. Padron, who spent years quietly producing, mixing, and engineering rap records, and leaned on his connects to flex his first original offering that leans ever so slightly into these dance lanes.  It's essentially a perfectly produced crossover record, but the ability to call on big enough names to make a splash and follow through with original content is uncommon, and though he's dozens of records from convincing us that he can survive in dance music, we're incredibly intrigued to see how the remainder of the year unfolds from this promising prospect.  In the meantime, feel free to stream or snag this banger below:
