i was in a fela beat battle last weekend here in philly so i had to make a handful of beats using his songs. EC grabbed this one right away. i am kicking around throwing the others into a quick mix and putting them up possibly as a "bonus" to our Ep. Random aka Mega Ran just sent a verse for another one this morning (i havent even heard it yet but im going there next!) so...

dunno

the ep Ethel Cee and I are working on is kinda different from 'One Fifty'. much heavier, and more emotional and experimental type thing

but we both really liked this song so it will wind up AT LEAST being a bonus track on her ep

thanks for checking it dude and glad u dug it

peace!
2680061, thanks for the insight -- respect.

2684060, Another new Ethel Cee / Dumhi joint.... "Coke & Yoga"

Also... here's some insight into the song straight from EC...


“Coke & Yoga is a song that I have wanted to write for some years now. The hook has been floating around in my head for at least two years, and I always hoped that one day this story would find a good home.

I have a few friends who live out in Los Angeles and one in particular who is from there. I remember hearing descriptions of some of L.A.’s residents. You could meet someone with fake tits, fake lips and a fake ass but they are vegan or on some kind of macrobiotic diet. I found this to be equal parts hilarious and intriguing. So when I say ‘Hey L.A.’ in the hook, I am basically saying hello to the only group of people I thought could understand how two things so diametrically opposed could exist in the same life.

I felt like L.A was where I probably belonged. They would get it. They wouldn’t judge. It described me perfectly. I mean, what kind of person does coke and then gets up and goes to yoga class the next day? Who DOES that shit? Hot mess.

Both cocaine and yoga came into my life about the same time. I still do yoga. The coke had to go. I liked it way too much and I didn’t want to go down the road of addiction. I’ve seen firsthand what that looks like and It. Is. Ugly. So I stopped cold turkey while I was still in control. Yay, me.

I can say it is probably the most personal song I have ever written and released aside from ‘Good To You’ and ‘Bury the Hatchet’.

Everything is an accurate account of what was happening at the time.“
