Single Focus: Loose Change

Answered by: Joel Rapaport

Single title? Yes Or No ft Meklit

What’s the song about? It’s a twisted love song about wanting someone who doesn’t really know if they want you back. Hilarity ensues...

How long did it take to write/record? The album Listening Party took about nine-to-12 months to write and record, and this song like others took a little while to tweak into shape. Hardest thing is pulling everything together: lyrics, beat, melodies.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Released on our album Listening Party which came out Oct 2013, out through our label Big Village Records. It features a bunch of grand guests Jeswon (Thundamentals), and Ozi Batla, and was produced by beatmaker extraordinaire P Major.

What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? We are all close friends and a lot of writing songs for us is just having heart-to-heart chats about life, growing old, struggling to make it and people we care about. Also drinking tea.

We’ll like this song if we like... Soulful honest rap fans telling it like it is, a passionate melody, a story and a damn cool groove.
