I ain’t gonna front, I listen to the radio sometime. I’ve even been making a point to watch me some Rap City too. Mostly, new “hip hop” is weak sauce to me, but damn Shawty Lo (of D4L) it killin it right now! I can’t get this damn song out of my head lately, so maybe this will help.

Listen… Dey Know is the damn anthem right now! Kinda old news but this slow ass grindin beat is just crazy to me. I swear, I even caught my girl singing this one (though I’m pretty sure she has no idea who it is and it’s mostly my fault for playing the hell out of it). Regardless, this cut is ridiculous and the video is crazy too. I need to get me a marchin band to follow my car.

OK, now check the remix. Honestly, the beat is so FIYHA I can even stand Luda. Add a little E-40 (though it sounds dubbed) to the mix and follow it up with a crazy Weezy vocoder verse and you got a remix! WHAT?!?!?

Now you know this cut was sure to get spit on with the mixtape game. Here’s the Re-Up Gang (Clipse and crew) up on the cut. Gotta check for the We Got It For Cheap Vol. 3 mixtape. It’s pratty slammin.

Here’s another Shawty Lo cut that’s pretty slammin for good measure.

Big up to all my haters!
