It slaps. The groove is perfect R&amp;B flavour with a touch of funk, a bit of Latin and hip hop. Ruinz Ason brings the spice on the rap.the live instrumentation gives me Earth Wind And Fire pre September vibes, it\u2019s very slick in production, tight arrangements! I love the flute solo in there too as well as the horn arrangement! Bekka Blake hits the ground with her vocals, talking about escaping the hustle and bustle of the city and being able to live her life and be her own person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could relate to leaving the 9 to 5 up on the shelf and just enjoying yourself, or being a girl that just wants to have fun, but ultimately she\u2019s a country girl. Ruinz Ason brings his verses and having worked with him before the pride I felt when I heard him made me feel nostalgic for those times \u2013 just to give you some background I\u2019ve known Ruinz for over 20 years and once upon a time we used to chat around a fish tank \u2013 a very feng shui point in time \u2013 we used to talk about music a lot, and this was his kind of vibe \u2013 neo soul, R&amp;B and funk\u2026. Hearing it manifested here is a blessing! Back to the track it had me from the moment the fender Rhodes came in, the percussion, that warm bass and those drums\u2026 Lord those drums!!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go listen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you listening to this track?
