"Once signed to N.W.A. lynchpin Eazy E's Ruthless Records imprint Comptown Records, Tairrie B released her debut rap album The Power Of A Woman in 1990, a trailblazing slab of sedition containing plenty of skill, vim and vigor and one that paved the way for many female artists to follow. For all her extraordinary and accomplished work in the world of metal, Vintage Curses makes it hard to shake the feeling that Tairrie B's heart-of-hearts still lies deeply in the world of rap and hip hop." - SKIN BACK ALLEY

Trailblazing rap artist TAIRRIE B is back with the new Mediatrix Remix of "Wicked Witch of the West Coast", taken from her new solo hip hop album VINTAGE CURSES, released worldwide August 14, 2015.

"I'm excited to debut my new remix of 'Wicked Witch of the West Coast' created by the fierce London based producer extraordinaire Mediatrix Music who I discovered via Twitter after the release of my album. I have been impressed by her many incredible talents as a producer, along with the depth of musicality in her remixes. When she reached out to me with an offer to collaborate, I couldn't resist joining forces. I fell in love with her bewitching and unexpected spin on the track from first listen and feel honored to have the chance to work with her at this early stage in her career. She's got great ideas and a unique perspective which shines through in her music. I'm thrilled to have her conjure such a totally different atmosphere, giving the song a new and yet hauntingly classic hip hop sound while staying true to the old school vide and sensibility of the original recording." - TAIRRIE B

"Tairrie B is such an important figure in both rock and hip hop. If you're interested in the journey of women in music, to quote Tairrie's own lyrics, "Check your discs you'll find me, But if ya don't betta check your history..." I am a longtime fan of her work as a rock musician with her band My Ruin and I'm thrilled to be able to remix for Tairrieon her return to hip hop. When I heard 'Vintage Curses' the attitude, the samples and the overall mood really resonated with me and I thought it was intelligent, inspired and fresh. Sonically, I love the 90s vibe and I often use throwback elements in my Mediatrix Music remixes such as 808s and Orchestra Hits. In remixing 'Wicked Witch of the West Coast' I wanted to offer something that paid homage to Tairrie's rap legacy and early years with Eazy E's Comptown Records label whilst creating a sound that would work in 2015. The remix is not going to be what people are expecting - which makes it even more exciting to share! On a personal note, like many other women of my generation and particularly as a female producer and musician, I have been hugely influenced by Tairrie and feel I have benefited from her positive, authentic representation of women." - NINA / MEDIATRIX MUSIC
