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!

Dej Loaf has a new track out featuring Leon Bridges that's got a great mellow summer vibe a lot of folks are feeling. I like the original but decided to up the tempo a little and throw some chunkier drum parts in the mix to move the track in more of a party direction.
