Skinny Friedman

FACT Mag gives CHOBANI AND ADDERALL 3: ZARA WORK PANTS some love

“It’s all good stuff here, but it’s Friedman’s own set of remixes that sets this tape apart from the competition”

An interview in the Chicago indie daily

” I’ma play a lot of old cash money and sing along to the hook of “bugatti”. i might take my shirt off.”

Passion of the Weiss on EXTRA PILLS

“I have heard Old and it is probably my favorite rap album of the year. Until it leaks, this should hold you down.”

EXTRA PILLS named one of FACT Mag's mixes of the week

“There might not be anything new here, but we hardly need it – Friedman expertly handles the tracks, splicing in the occasional interview segment for coherence and comedy effect when needed.”

Noisey on CHOBANI AND ADDERALL 2: ROMPER SEASON

“Skinny Friedman has distilled the essence of the romper into a 45 minute mix that’ll have you popping and unlocking your full potential”

Mishka Bloglin on Chobani and Adderall

“It’s a celebration of life, an affirmation of all that’s good in the way that old ladies go to church and scream “preach!” when the pastor drops knowledge. In this case however, the pastor is Future, or possibly Nicky Da B rapping about riding faces.”

Noisey on CHOBANI AND ADDERALL

“This mix features music from A$AP Mob, Gunplay, Nicky da B, and a million other rappers, plus remixes and originals by Skinny himself”

SPIN on TRAP RAVE 2.0

“On Trap Rave 2.0, out next Tuesday, the remixes are even ballsier and the song choices, well, even more rap nerd-friendly. Sure, you get recent hits like Meek Mill’s “House Party,” 2 Chainz’s “Spend It,” and “Beez in the Trap,” but there are also some oddballs, too — a remix of Ohio rapper and tangential Taylor Gang affiliate Freaky Franz’s “On Flex”; blasts of Atari sounds charging through “Pussy Power” from Mannie Fresh’s delightful, cult solo album, The Mind of Mannie Fresh; and for some reason, an airy, almost psychedelic take on Black Rob’s “Whoa?””

A very nice write-up about TRAP RAVE 2.0 and Rack Skinny

“He’s been heavy into the Moombahton scene since Spring of 2010, but his work stands out from other Moombahtonistas due to his endearing love and knowledge of rap music. All of the tracks on Trap Rave 2.0 are remixes of recent rap hits. The set has a real cohesive feel and all play out real well to even the most finicky of dancefloors.”

MTV Hive names ( . Y . ) it's Mix of the Week

“As a whole, this mix plays kind of like the “partytime” playlist on your ipod, but with the technical prowess and discerning taste that only a DJ could contribute. And that makes it way more fun.”

The Skinny Friedman Interview

“I thought underground rap would make me cool in college. it kind of worked, then I realized nobody wanted to hear Sir Menelik in the club so I diversified and bought a bunch of house records. That worked a little better.”

Love for a very old remix I did of Bon Iver's "Blood Bank"

“Glad I checked this out.”
