Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day: Dirty South Edition

First up for the day is an 8-minute anthem dedicated to the city of Miami. This song features vocals from Flo Rida, Rick Ross, and Brisco, as well as a crazy beat. Typical of dirty south hip-hop, the lyrics of 'Yayo' boil down to a whole lot of slang, rather than any particularly meaningful content. However, the vocals sound so clean over the hard hitting base and resounding cries of 'Yayo' in the background that it's hard to complain.

This track is a remix of of 'She Luv it' which was featured on UGK's final album, UGK 4 Life, which was dedicated posthumously to Pimp C. This is a classic UGK song, with a slow beat, a heavy bass and a crooning chorus, all backing up the smooth lyrics of Bun B. This track also benefits from a verse from Slim Thug, another staple in dirty south music.

This song is product of dirty southern hip-hop supergroup, The Fixxers, which is made up of DJ Quik and AMG. This song placed on hip-hop charts across the country, as well as being featured on an episode of Entourage. Like most southern hip-hop tracks, 'Can U Werk Wit Dat' is backed by a heavy, trunk-bouncing bass and a simple looping synth beat.
