North Ave. -- First Look


What's good guys? My apologies again to those of you who actually look forward to reading my blog posts-- just been a bit preoccupied with this new tape and haven't gotten around to it. Anyways, we're dropping my new Summer Track, **North Ave.** today at noon so just wanted to check in with y'all and give ya the background on the song and what's to come in the next couple weeks.

So this new track, I'm actually pretty stoked about it. For those of you who know me best, you know that I'm never satisfied with any of my work. Well, for once (and you can quote me on this), I am thankful and humbled to admit that I am the closest I've ever been to being satisfied and can't wait to drop it for y'all. #BartScott.

To put shortly, North Ave. highlights "Summertime in the Chi." It's about kicking back and cruising down to the beach with your friends for some good old fashioned fun in the sun-- I know that sounds corny as f*ck, but deal with it. The beat has that Melo chill and is a remix of the popularized song, "Body On Me." Once we release the track this afternoon, we'll begin shooting clips all week to put together a fun little video. With that said, don't hesitate to get at me and/or send me any clips of you and your friends jamming to the song over the week and I'll try my best to work everyone in! Additionally, we're attempting to set up a show at Castaways on North Ave. to debut the song-- stay tuned for more info on that one.

Other than North Ave, we've also been working on a few other tracks with a completely different feel. I don't want to get into to much detail on those, but I can tell you that the other two tracks are called **Wings Clipped (Angels Gotta Fly)** and **Poetic Romance (How you do?).**  Heading back into the studio this Tuesday (July 3rd) to lay down a few more so definitely be looking for updates and sneak-peeks then!

So without further adieu,  I hope y'all like it and, once it drops at NOON, please PLEASE remember to post it up, share it and play it! Play it for your mother, your brother, your sister, your goldfish-- any and all! Let's get it out there together and I'll try my best to do the rest!

Much love and get at me to let me know whatcha think!

LYRICS

~North Ave.~
Summertime in the Chi, everybody lookin' fly, get a little high pass it to the next guy,
Grab ya girl n ya know what to do-- everybody's hittin' North Avenue


Summertime swingin' 'round, Everybody's gettin' down on some crown,
That I found on the ground, You can tell by the sound,
everybody's gettin' loud, all the boys are gettin' rowdy n' the hunnies let it out,

Yeh-- they let it out, while they scream n they shout,
Do a little hanky panky shake that booty all about,
Ain't no doubt-- gotcha mapped like a route,
Bout to explore ya every inch, look ya down from North to South

You know them Chi-Town girls are just ageless,
I love them slammin' bodies and they curves are outrageous,
Try to take 'em home, man that shit is courageous,
Spreadin' love like the flu, yeh it's true-- they contagious

Summertime in the Chi, everybody lookin' fly, get a little high pass it to the next guy,
Grab ya girl n ya know what to do-- everybody's hittin' North Avenue (2x)


We at that city beach-- North Avenue,
Lake Michigan-- shinin' cubby blue,

Hit up that Castaways-- grab another drink,
So many hunnies walkin' by you don't wanna blink,

You just wanna stare, and it isn't fair,
But then she catch you n' you know that she don't really care,

Yeh that's how it is-- up in Chi-city,
The winter's rough, but the summer's lookin' mighty pretty,

Ya tryin' to get tan girl so here's my notion
Forget the SPF-- let me cover ya with Flow-tion

Splashin' in the water, rollin' in the sand,
I'm gettin' lost in her buoys-- like it's Neverland.

Summertime in the Chi, everybody lookin' fly, get a little high pass it to the next guy,
Grab ya girl n ya know what to do-- everybody's hittin' North Avenue (2x)


Yeh we dryin' off-- in the summer rays,
Stooky rolls it up so we can get a little blaze,
When the sun sets-- it gon' get craze,
You'll see me beamin' while they screamin' out for B-Fraze

---So if you down then sing with it me,
cuz I do it for my boys n I do it for my biddy,
Pass the bottle round, let's just get a little shitty,
Sing it loud, sing it proud--throw it down for my city

Summertime in the Chi, everybody lookin' fly, get a little high pass it to the next guy,
Grab ya girl n ya know what to do-- everybody's hittin' North Avenue (2x)


Summertime in the Chi--- yeh, yeh, we reppin' Chi-Town
Summer time in the Chi--- yeh. yeh you know how it is

Summertime in the Chi, everybody lookin' fly, get a little high pass it to the next guy,
 Grab ya girl n ya know what to do-- everybody's hittin' North Avenue
