Hey world, we're live on iTunes INTERNATIONALLY today...

"Be the first to write a review" as they say!

YALL READY TO JAK???*

¡HEITA!

BLK JKS got with the team over at RCRD LBL to spread far and wide (read: give away) the beats that are "Summertime (Carlos Ramos version)"—a clip of the club mix we've been jamming this week.

Thanks to 'Los for the mix (we see you with that new-new!), RCRD LBL for the lookout and Fader for pouring gas on a 4th of July fire. That holiday don't mean shit in SA but we hope you have a good time rocking to this!

*We can neither confirm nor deny that "da Jak" is a new kwaito dance craze sweeping Soweto since the "BLK JKS Mystery Megamix".
