Great stuff! Check out our debut EP and please show your support by purchasing the MP3's! Thank you for your support!
haha dope shiet
This is another song that seems very reminiscent of Prince to me. "Tell Me What You Think" might not get alot of airplay on the radio, but it will definitely be a DJ's play list for the clubs!
"All My Life" will be the song onthis album that cuts across all genres of the music world (with maybe the exception of country!). It will be played on all stations from Top40 to Adult Comtemporary.
Great modern, hip-hop version of "You're So Vain"! This is the kind of song that will become someone's anthem one day, when they want to tell the whole world about this evil person you're singing about.
