"I Want Ya Luv"



CLICK HERE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD OF THIS SONG

This track is a song off the "LEXtraterrestrial" mixtape. The Hook is sung by my homie J. Midd. I have just recently decided to upload this as a solo joint as it was requested by a supporter from Adelaide, South Australia who wanted to post it on her facebook wall, because after downloading the mixtape she wasn't able to get past this song (she left it on repeat as she went to sleep lol).

The story behind this song is actually quite interesting. I began pen'n the lyrix to this joint in the late 90s (believe it or not). I was down south (Carolina) visiting my Father for a while and he had and old Uptown Records compilation CD (back when Diddy was Puff Daddy lol and was still just an intern/producer, before Bad Boy) and it had the Heavy D "Got Me Waiting" joint on it (which is where I got the interpolation from - the hook). I decided that it was a dope joint to remake so I began writing it. That's pretty much it in a nutshell. I mean there's much more to the story (because the version you're actually hearing is the 2nd version of the song I wrote), but it's a LEXhausting story and I don't feel like typing it all (lol) so... Hope you enjoy.
