Alright, alright, I'll admit it...this one wasn't my idea! I heard a dope blend of Bonde R300's song, "Oh Nanana", on the Coolie Dance riddim but I couldn't find it anywhere! A wise producer/DJ buddy of mine once told me, "If you can't find it, just make it yourself!" So I took some of the same inputs, chopped them up in my own style, added some claps and pads, and the result is something fresh that bangs in the club!
