Raheem DAriana Grande, Bree Runway and Katy Perry collaborate in my mashup 'All Night 365'. It features Bree Runway's single 'All Night', Ariana Grande's hit single '34+35' and Zedd's single '365' featuring Katy Perry. I've had this mashup idea for a while and initially wanted to use Runway's 'All Night' instrumental since I loved it so much. Unfortunately, it never leaked so the mix sat on the shelf until I I was scrolling through my instrumentals folder and realised I never got round to using Dinah Jane's 'Heard It All Before' beat and thought it'd be a good replacement for my mix since it still has that early 00's R&B sound. I love how the videos look together and how the lyrics work so well together. Let me know your thoughts!

It features Tyla's hit single 'Water' from her debut self titled album and Janet Jackson's classic single 'All For You' from her album of the same name. I had this idea last Summer and it was supposed to be a follow up to my Janet x Ciara mix but I continued my tradition of posting mixes traditionally late! It was interesting watching people compare Tyla's 'Water' to artists such as Aaliyah, Christina Millian and Rihanna. Meanwhile, it led me to think of Janet, she birthed the majority of the girlies and knows how to give a sensual bop in a classy way similar to 'Water'. I love how they sound together, Janet's background vocals are heavenly. I had the pleasure of using her vocal stems which was pretty onerous as they weren't mastered and I HATE mastering, but I tried my best to make it sound as official as possible.

It features Britney Spears' hit single 'Me Against The Music' and Troye Sivan's single 'Got Me Started' from his hit album 'Something To Give Each Other'. When I saw the 'Got Me Started' video, I loved seeing Troye incorporate choreography into his visuals. I knew he was inspired by Janet this era and although I couldn't think of a Janet track to mix with 'Got Me Started' I felt Britney who is also strongly inspired by Janet would be a great match. I love how the visuals work together and I put a lot of work into using the stems to create something smooth and engaging. Let me know your thoughts!

It features Mariah Carey's number one hit 'Don't Forget About Us' from her re-release of 'The Emancipation of Mimi' and Sza's hit single 'Snooze' from her hit album 'SOS'. I wanted to mix Snooze with a Mariah Carey track and I was stuck between three songs. I ended up asking for advice from @kierzcookie and he suggested I use the 'Don't Forget About Us' instrumental and go from there. This mix was surprisingly really hard to achieve due to the differences in today's music style and that of the 00's. Especially with songs being shorter! Overall, I'm happy with the outcome and I think SZA and Mariah Carey could create a really interesting collab, I'd love to see Mariah Carey write a verse in a SZA style! What do you think? Lemme know in the comments!

It features Doja Cat's single 'Demons' and Beyonce's hit single 'Diva'. This was initially for Halloween but I wasn't able to finish it in time. I really loved the beat to 'Demons' but I felt Doja was playing too much with the first two verses and didn't give the beat the flow it deserved. I came up with the idea of adding Beyonce's 'Diva' on the beat because that song has the same bombastic energy to 'Demons' and it's one of my favourite Beyonce tracks. I think the songs work really well together. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

It features Chloe x Halle's single 'Forgive Me' and Sam Smith's hit single 'Unholy' featuring Kim Petras. I randomly came upon this idea when I was singing 'Forgive Me' in the car around the time 'Unholy' was huge. I turned to my partner and he was like "Please don't". He isn't a fan of 'Unholy' but I couldn't help but realise how amazing these songs sounded together. They both have dark production and together, their lyrics help paint a picture of Chloe x Halle being the women that are being cheated on, Sam is the narrator and Kim is the other woman. And then with the video, it looks as if Chloe x Halle are evil witches that cast spells on men that cheat. I don't know, I had fun with this and I wish I had time to finish this in time for Halloween. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I absolutely love 'On My Mama' it's such a feel good track and the music video and her live performances really enhances the feel good experience. I'm really rooting for Monet! When I heard the track I could imagine Beyonce on it since she loves a brass arrangement and 'Feeling Myself' has a similar feel good vibe that I thought would fit the theme of the song.

It features Tinashe's single 'Needs' from her album 'BB/Ang3l' and Akon's hit song 'I Wanna Love You'. 'Needs' is such a catchy single that I found myself humming it around the house once I had the lyrics down. I imagined it being a club banger and for whatever reason, the instrumental reminded me of the mid 00's sound which led me to thinking of Akon and I after listening to 'I Wanna Love You' I realised these two songs would be fire together!

I've been hoping Ciara and Chris Brown would collaborate again and eventually give us a music video with choreo and I'm so grateful that moment finally happened! When I saw 'How We Roll' it made me think of Janet and Michael and their 'Scream' music video and I debated trying to mix the four artists. I couldn't think of a Michael song that would work but Janet's 'That's The Way Love Goes' instantly entered my head and I realised how similar the hooks were as well the pre-chorus. My decision was made and I knew what I had to do. I know Janet is a huge inspiration for Ciara so I tried to make it feel like a proper collab. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

I saw a snippet of a Troye Sivan interview and he was asked who his dream collaboration would be on 'Rush' and he responded "Janet Jackson".

I was obsessed with 'Plan B' when it came out last year, the boom bap beat reminded me of that 90's Hip Hop sound. The beat also reminded me of 'Makin' It Last All Night' due to the melodies.
I soon realised they both sampled a remix to Jodeci's 'Freek 'N You' after hearing Lil Kim's remix and here we are.

I was so happy to find my Aaliyah mashups had been unblocked and I was no longer banned from creating Aaliyah content, it revived my creativity and fuelled this mashup.
When I heard Doja Cat's 'Attention' addressed her haters and trolls, it reminded me of Aaliyah's 'Loose Rap' where she also addressed her haters. The songs even have a similar drum pattern, same key and similar bpm, it was rather uncanny so I thought I'd try this mix out. I really enjoyed the outcome and further proves Aaliyah's music was ahead of it's time.

'Good Days' was written in late 2021 during lockdown when I was struggling with seasonal depression. I had witnessed my friends and family's mental health struggle during this period and I wanted to create a song that promoted hope. It's been a tough few years but I have hope for the good days! I was inspired by Aaliyah, Joe, and Troye Sivan whilst writing and recording since I admire their musicality. It has a Lo-Fi yet, 2000's R&B sound that's very breezy and calming. I see it as a smooth entrance into my debut. I'm excited to release more original tracks for you all, this is only the beginning! I'd love to know your thoughts in the comments.
The song is free to stream on YouTube and SoundCloud and I'll offer a free download on my website: Free download link: raheemd.com/downloads SoundCloud link: on.soundcloud.com/Sy5ev

Lyrics:
Chorus: Come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days, yeah, So come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days,
Verse 1: Dear beloved it’s been onerous so hard on us we’re unlike our ways, Talking about your hobbies your eyes seem so hollow and glazed, Relationship strays, Can’t recall the last time we kicked it, I ask to hang I feel like your responses are cryptic, What’s Mary Poppin’? You’ve been out your bag for so long I’d call you Ariel the way you’ve lost your voice and your song, I know we’re locked down, I hope it doesn’t last forever, I notice dark clouds upon you through the harshest weather But look, I have love for you, Remember that I told you that, yeah I told you that No matter what you do, You know I’ll always have your back, always have your back, You are not alone; we both have to be strong, The powers in your hands change your life and take a stand, I see you’re down, best believe I understand, hop in and just
Chorus: Come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days, yeah, So come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days,
Verse 2: And I agree I’m so done working for the top from 9 to 5, They don’t appreciate the workers who acquire the drive, Serotonin levels falter with no warmth as a crutch, It’s why I message now and then because I miss you much, I miss your touch, I hope you know I really adore ya, And texts can’t compare with your magnetic aura, Isolation as an introvert is seen as a haven, But alone can feel the best until the loneliness caves in I have love for you, Remember that you told me that, yeah you told me that No matter what you do I know you’ll always have my back, always have my back, You are not alone, we both have to be strong, Conversation is the key to no need wonder what would be, If all else fails just know you got a friend in me, forreal so just,
Chorus: Come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days, yeah, So come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days,
Bridge: If you’re in the dark and you, feel alone, Just know that I can be on the end of the phone, If you’re feeling down hop in, for a ride, We can sing songs like the old times old times, X2
Chorus: Come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days, yeah, So come and take a ride with me, ride with me, Come enjoy the vibe ya see, There’s hope for the good days yeah, We all work for the good days,

It's inspired by Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo's sound. I'm a big fan of Finneas' minimalist production and I've learned a lot from his "less is more" approach. My two previous beats incorporate many elements which I realise can prove difficult when it comes to mixing so I tried my best to keep things simple. I'm still learning! I absolutely love what Jimmy did on the piano, I can only play acoustic guitar so to incorporate another talent really helps. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Initially, 'Unforgiven' was made for a METAPOP contest where you were given a sample and had to create a beat, and the winner would be chosen by Timbaland. I didn't win, but I decided I'd rework the beat (omitting most of the sample) and refine it after getting some great feedback after joining the competition. It's the fastest beat I've created thus far and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I tried to imagine the likes of Cardi B, Coi Leray and even Eminem recording on this track as I was producing. I was inspired by Cardi B's 'Up', Coi Leray's 'Blick Blick', Aaliyah's 'Are You That Somebody', Katy Perry's 'Harley's In Hawaii', Chloe x Halle's 'Forgive Me', Missy Elliott's 'Triple Threat' 50 Cent's 'Ayo Technology', Brandy's 'Afrodisiac', and Timbaland's 'Bounce'.

Initially, I started a tutorial on Skillshare for creating Lo-Fi music, but as I was following the tutorial I got bored with the Lo-Fi sound and decided to use the material given to create something different. I started with the piano sample and went from there. It turned into a pseudo Middle Eastern style Hip Hop beat that was also inspired by my 'Started To Make It Hot' mashup which used the 'Make It Hot' instrumental from Missy Elliott. As I was producing, the music video came into my head and I could imagine three female rappers such as Iggy Azalea, Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj with an Ancient Egyptian look with a dance break similar to how videos were back in the early 00's. I wouldn't say this is a full Middle Eastern sound as it uses Lo-Fi elements. I hope you enjoy this production, let me know your thoughts in the comments as it'll help me with future productions.

(Ft Chlöe, Little Mix) (Mashup)Raheem D2022-06-10 | Iggy Azalea, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Chlöe and Little Mix collaborate in my mashup titled 'Do U Want Me?'. It features Iggy Azalea's single 'Team', Cardi B's hit single 'Up', Nicki Minaj's 'Good Form', Chlöe's 'Treat Me', Little Mix's 'Bounce Back' and samples Lady Gaga's 'LoveGame'. This mix idea came to me after hearing 'Treat Me' and instantly thinking of the 'Bounce Back' chorus on top of the beat. I then thought it'd be cool to flesh out the idea with rap verses as I felt it'd better suit the beat. I absolutely love how energetic this mix is and I'm happy I was able to collaborate with @Panos T to create a strong video edit, he snapped!.

It features Tinashe's single 'So Much Better' from her album 'Songs For You' featuring G-Eazy, and Doja Cat's hit single 'Streets' from her album 'Hot Pink'. I'm still intent on these two collaborating before Doja Cat hangs up her boots! One day I was listening to Streets when I started to hum the chorus of 'So Much Better' over it and was shook at how well they sounded and then imagined the videos intertwined and I just knew they'd be a bop together. What do you all think?

It features Tinashe's single 'X' from her album '333', Ariana Grande's single 'Everyday' from her album 'Dangerous Woman' and Megan Thee Stallion's verse from Shenseea's song 'Lick'. I'm such a huge fan of Tinashe and after finding a way to filter material from her last two projects I've decided to post a bunch of Tinashe mixes. I decided to start with this track as it's her latest release that she's promoting (Tinashe deserves so much more promo! I need to see her on Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and at Wireless Festival this summer!). I believe she wanted Ariana Grande to be on 'X' but due to Ariana Grande taking a break from collaborations it wasn't able to happen. That's when I decided to try and find a way to make it work for her! I even included Megan Thee Stallion for a rap verse so it could be a women's trio. I hope you enjoy this one and maybe if Tinashe comes across it, I hope she enjoys it too!

It features Avril Lavigne's hit single 'Complicated' from hr debut album 'Let Go' and 'Surface Pressure' from the soundtrack of the Disney film 'Encanto'. 'Surface Pressure' is my favourite song from the Encanto soundtrack and Luisa is also my favourite character. After receiving the positive reaction from my 'We Don't Talk About Bruno Mars' mashup I thought I'd do a follow up! I tried to make it seems as if Avril Lavigne was responding to Luisa acting strange and asking her to chill out and relax. I really love how this mix came out!

It features Chris Brown's hit single 'Kiss Kiss' featuring T-pain from his album 'Exclusive' and Lil Nas X's number 1 single 'Industry Baby' featuring Jack Harlow from his album 'MONTERO'. 'Kiss Kiss' is easily one of my most mixed songs, it came out around the same time I started creating mashups and I played it constantly. When I heard 'Industry Baby' I fell in love with the production due to how energetic it sounded. There were certain scenes in the video that reminded me of 'Kiss Kiss' (the school bus/prison bus scene) which is disconcerting considering one is set in an American prison and the other an American school but... I really enjoyed making this one! Let me know what you think?

It feature's Encanto's number 1 hit single 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' and Mars' number 1 hit single 'Grenade'. First of all, we need to discuss just how catchy the Encanto soundtrack has been, Lin Manuel Miranda was in his bag when he created this soundtrack! After humming 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' around the house for a few weeks (alongside 'Surface Pressure') I found myself thinking of mixing it with Bruno Mars and Grenade was the song that came to mind. I tried to make it seem as if Mars was in fact the Bruno they do not speak of when all he wants is love, he can't help having such a gift! I hope you enjoy this fun mashup, if you'd like to see another Encanto mix let me know as I have a dope idea for 'Surface Pressure'.

It features Doja Cat's song 'Ain't Shit' from her hit album 'Planet Her' and Nivea's breakout single 'Laundromat' from her self titled album. This mashup was in fact a request from a subscriber a while back (I wish I could remember who!) and I normally don't do requests but I liked this one since 'Laundromat' was one of my faves as a kid and 'Ain't Shit' is a current fave, I also like how the lyrics work so well together. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!

It features Adele's hit single 'Easy On Me' from her hit album '30', Troye Sivan's 'EASY' featuring Kacey Musgraves from his EP 'IN A DREAM' and Justin Timberlake's 'Mirrors' produced by Timbaland. The first time I heard 'Easy On Me' I instantly thought of mixing it with 'EASY' by Troye and loved how well they suited one another. The only issue I had was the fact neither song had an official instrumental available to use so I sat on the mix for a while until I thought of using Timberlake's 'Mirrors' instrumental produced by Timbaland to really tie each of the songs together. I really love how each song coincides with one another as well as how the video intertwine. Let me know what you guys think! I think Adele and Troye Sivan love each other so it'd be cool if they saw it :)

It features Rodrigo's number 1 hit 'Drivers License' and James Blake's single 'Retrograde'. It's almost exactly a year since Olivia Rodrigo debuted her single 'Drivers License' and yet it feels like she's been in the business for longer since she's been so successful. I wanted to transform the song into something more sinister and tried to make it seem as if Olivia Rodrigo is an obsessed ex that may have taken things too far when they split. I even recorded the 911 call to help the narrative! Let me know your thoughts in the comments :)

It features Chlöe's single 'Have Mercy', Doja Cat's 'You Right' featuring The Weeknd and Mya's debut single 'It's All About Me'. This mashup came to me in the shower, initially I had a mix of 'You Right' and 'Tip of my Tongue' on TikTok and Soundcloud which sampled 'Moments In Love'. And then, one day I realised 'You Right' and 'Have Mercy' fit really well in their hook melody so I went about incorporating a 90s sound with Mya's 'It's All About Me' which also samples 'Moments In Love'. I really like the transitions between these tracks as well as Chloe on the bridge. Let me know your thoughts!

It features Bruno Mars' song 'Too Good To Say Goodbye' from his hit album '24k Magic' and SZA's hit single 'I Hate U'. This mashup randomly came to me when I heard the chorus of 'I Hate U' and the melody line sounded somewhat similar to the opening of 'Too Good To Say Goodbye'. This is quite common as to how I come up with my ideas! Let me know your thoughts!

Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Robin Thicke, Trey Songz, Beyonce + MORERaheem D2021-12-09 | Here is an extended (mashup) version of JoJo's song 'Gold' from her album 'Good To Know'. It features various artists including Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Trey Songz, Robin Thicke, J Holiday, The Dream, Raheem D, Beyonce, Selena Gomez, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. I absolutely love 'Gold', it's easily my favourite song from JoJo's amazing album 'Good To Know'. My only issue was that it was too short so I set upon creating my own version to help extend it. Inspired by JayBeatz 'Girls Need Love' R&B girl mashup, I wanted to create a mix that was at least 10 minutes long. I also wanted the mix to be very sensual and something you can have on in the background whilst you shower your partner with love. Let me know your thoughts!

I really enjoy Azalea's 'I Am The Stripclub' track as it's a mix of house and rap which is cool. I wanted to flip the genre yet again by including Outkast's 'The Way You Move' which is such an underrated track. I also included Doja Cat and Azealia Banks as I felt they could ride the beat.

This was an idea that my partner in fact came up with as we were singing 'Kiss Me More' in the kitchen and I was like "Yeah, I'm using that idea". They flow so effortlessly and I think we need a collab between these two at some point. The acapella for 'Know Better' isn't the best as it's a filter but I tried my best to master it the best I can. Let me know your thoughts!

It features Lil Nas X's hit single 'MONTERO (Call me by your name)' and Missy Elliott's hit single 'One Minute Man' featuring Ludacris. This mashup randomly came to me in the car when 'One Minute Man' came on shuffle and I randomly started humming 'MONTERO' over the top and realised the hooks are fairly similar. These two could be a great collab in fact since they're both very creative with their visuals. What do you think?

It features Taylor Swift's hit single 'Wildest Dreams' from her album '1989' and Avril Lavigne's hit single 'Hot'. This mashup was part of my 'Unreleased and Underrated Collection' and initially couldn't be released due to Taylor Swift's copyright but is safe now! I see this as the finale to my Avril x Taylor swift mashups that were wildly successful and just further proves we need a collaboration from them! I love how these songs together as they both share a similar melody and video theme. What do you guys think?

soundcloud.com/raheem-dCardi B x Lady Gaga - I Like Applause (Mashup)Raheem D2021-04-19 | Cardi B and Lady Gaga collaborate in my mashup titled 'I Like Applause'. It features Cardi B's number one single 'I Like It' and Lady Gaga's hit single 'Applause' from her album 'ARTPOP'. This mashup is from my 'Unreleased and Underrated' collection and was initially supposed to be the other way around but a HQ instrumental for 'I Like It' was never released so I created this version. I remember Cardi B saying she'd love to work with Lady Gaga as she's a Little Monster and that's what gave me the idea to mix these two together! What do you think?

soundcloud.com/raheem-dThe Weeknd x Shawn Mendes - Bleed For You (Mashup)Raheem D2021-04-16 | The Weeknd and Shawn Mendes collaborate in my mashup 'Bleed For You'. It features The Weeknd's song 'Die For You' from his album 'Starboy' and Shawn Mendes' hit single 'In My Blood'. This mashup is featured on my 'Unreleased and Underrated Collection' and I remember really wishing to post it when 'In My Blood' first came out but unfortunately it was blocked for copyright. Fortunately, it's OK to post now so we can rejoice!. I loved this mix as it gives Mendes' track a R&B sound and I taught myself how to use a vocoder to include the background vocals which I think went well. What do you think? Let me know!
