Birth place: Frontyard Studios, Chamblee , GA (2011)
Lyrics: Anthony Peterson, Gariel Pinero
I was really close to leaving this off of the mixtape. I had been listening to a lot of Juanes and Shakira and Pitbull and Nelly Furtado (you do know she has a full Spanish-language album, right? Smh) and the Spanish hook came from another musical brother of mine, Don Gari. “Pone tus manos ariba” means “Put your hands in the air”. When I played this beat, I put my hands in the air. It just felt so fitting for that to be the hook.

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS BEAT! Period. After I tracked it out, I just and listened to it over and over and over and over again. It was like I hit a production milestone where everything after that wasnt so laborious and difficult. The music started to form it self and like “Gold Plated” a lot of songs after that were much easier to write to.

Where is the representation of the outcasts and non-normals in music? Are they represented in their true form or used as reality TV vomit for viewers? I want to be the artist that is the voice for those and for everyone for that matter. There are young people and even adults who feel unaccounted for and under the impression that there is NO ONE that feels the same way they do. Well, they are very wrong.
