about

(2008) Old school raps to a futuristic beat. The dopest beat I've made just using a Korg Triton. Z-Trip introduced me to DJ Pause at a show @ Ruby Skye in San Francisco and we exchanged numbers to stay in contact. I brought some beats over to Pause's house one day and we vibed off of old school hip hop and our love for music in general. We recorded this classic gem and it's actually last beat that I made on that beloved Triton.

The track is plotted from the early eighties style of party rockin raps alongside the DJ ripping it up at a house party. Nickies is our favorite bar in the Lower Haight and it used to be a real dive back in the 80's. Our set would sound like this:

Four words to the wack step the fuck back
I came here to party and say my rap
I'm not a j-cat riding anyone else's hype
I do my own thing ain't concerned with what you like
I stay game tight always been that way
cold shock the house 'til the break of day
see we do it this way cuz we're a little advanced
soon you'll be a victim of the circumstance
cuz we are the ones who transcend the norm
making other music sound hella boring
get the party crackin 'til the early morning
thats why the california energy bill keeps soaring
rockin the mic with the greatest of ease
for all the fly and the sweet and the young ladies
who wanna party with us let it be known
we're gonna get this MF going on
Pause on the 1 & 2 he's illiact
give him the queue and he'll peel your wig back
scratch that you don't want nothin with that
cuz if he touches that you're gonna catch a heart attack
every verse is from the cardiac
Dupri aint on the track but I can tell you where the party at
right now we're finna make it live
so when the whistle is blown let's ride
see we only exist in the here and now
and we rock to the beat and got our own style
were finna go down in the history
as the baddest MF's there ever could be
cuz I'm the MC that you won't forget
baddest thing to hit 'frisco since fernet
so place your bet on me and parlay
gurp city in the place let me hear you say
it's poppin non stoppin
cuz I'm the MC on the microphone
and I would like to take one of you young freaks home
it's crackin and I'm mackin
cuz he's the DJ on the wheels of steel
throw your hands in the air show us how you feel
what it look like? what it look like?
cuz this type of shit dont happen every night
what it look like? what it look like?
cuz this type of shit dont happen every night

cuz we are the devastating beat creators
here to rock your city like the loma prieta
with Aaron on the mix and on the cross fader
we'll make you feel hotter than it is in grenada
I'm a def MC on the microphone
spittin raps to the beat that is all my own
so don't be uptight like a mennonite
come along lil momma make this your night
cuz Brandon B is who I be
I be tellin paparazzi get the fuck off me
like Kool Rock Ski in 1983
I'm a super bad body rockin tough MC
you wanna party with me? go ahead and say that
if you're a j-cat go ahead and play the back
born in the 70's bro I don't play that
living in the now but still go way back
like that
