Silver Medallion-Centerfold (Purple Rain)

Centerfold.

And I ain't talking J. Geils band.

So one of our songs has become a surprise heater. This was literally the last song we recorded, not on our list, completely random. Kid Vicious, who djs Lyte on Saturdays and apparently plays 4+ hours of death metal guitar each day, was playing his beats for Carnegie in the whip and Carnegie wrote the hook on the spot, I did a verse the next day, and we banged it out in 20 minutes of our last studio session.

Our engineer came through on an amazing level and got us the autotune we always wanted and now we have a heater. And it's a strip club love song, which puts us in the autotune+stripclub=banger category. This also has the interesting factor of having Carnegie on it 75% of the time and me with just a verse as opposed to the opposite, which is the usual case. Love my verse though, Joe made it sound AMAZING with the autotune:

We was in a photo talking reckless countin benjamins
she needed a life like a patient needed insulin
Chanel pistol heels, skin color cinnamon
she bent over me saying we can get intimate
so i counted my stacks, while she brought it right back
maybe I could take you out of here,
put you right where you deserve
New Orleans, Miami, the Mondrian the W,
lately we been killin it way harder than these other dudes
Corbusier, Jimmy Choo, Balenciaga,
Girl just dance like Lady Gaga,
We're only getting stronger
How could one lap dance create such a monster?
From a stripper to a lover...

We're just trying to find out a way we can release this on a major scale BEFORE the Kanye album drops and everyone hears these kind of vocal FX. Probably not gonna happen, but thats how life goes.

And of course the songs of ours that get popular (Scottsdale wtf?) are the ones that revolve around fastlivin/stripclubs etc. as opposed to Gravity etc. So it goes, so it goes.
