Top 5 T.O. Tunes of 2007: Hip Hop & Remix
Top 5 T.O. Tunes of 2007: Hip Hop Edition
"Sway With The Capital A" by Circle Research

This funky track came out last year on the Peace Island compilation. It's another hip hop song that didn't reach as big an audience as it should have. Like "What I Do" and "Pedal Pusher", the production on this track makes it. There's a great sample of a funk guitar lick and that alone makes me want to keep their Myspace page open in a separate browser window all damn day.

AoH's label (Arts & Crafts) made the raw tracks for this song available for download and held a remix contest. Toronto's Circle Research submitted this hip hop jam and it took first place. It was officially released on the song's single. Pretty cool stuff. Can I point out that the original version is also mentioned in our Top 5 Pop/Rock Tunes section?
