P-Lo Got Somethin' Light for the Summer

Quality over Quantity.
Less is More.
It's a Numbers Game.

The world is one big cliche. You don't have to be crazy to live in it, but it helps. And going outrageously dumb at venues (GO DAV) helps too.

P-Lo
Somethin' Light
​June 5, 2019

Five years into his career, P-Lo continues to keep on going. And by going, we mean going stupid just in time for the summer. Somethin' Light lives up to its name as it is just a three song release.

P-Lo somehow found a way to give the world exactly what it needed for the summer in this small package. The sounds represent everything the about the Bay Area weather that everyone travels miles to see. Put Somethin' Light on wherever you're at and you'll feel the Bay Area breeze.

He opens up the release with "Hella Fun." A track perfect for the strip clubs. (Not that we know what is played at the strip clubs. We're just assuming because of the lyrics that they would play it there. Don't tell Mrs. Irrelevant.)

"Going Hella Dumb
Throwin' Hella One's
Drop it down to the floor
Pick it up, get you some
Going Hella Dumb
Throwin' Hella One's
You can have Hella Fun
When you the one with the funds
What it hit for?
What that shit hit for?"

Jay Anthony on the chorus is a throwback to some Diligentz vibes. His smooth voice makes throwing one's sound like a hoot.

P-Lo has done his due diligence by consistently putting local artists on his work. From Jay Anthony, to ALLBLACK, to AKAFrank. He never doesn't stop putting the Bay on.

The next track on this release sounds like something between Zapp & Roger and Dave Steezy. "Luh You" is your typical rap love story.

A man has some plans to make her his girl.
He tells her that he's different and that she's independent.
He trash talks her ex.
Uses the term "Nothin' above you"
Is full of perfect Instagram captions, which we will display next.

"You text back, I hit my dance"
"No I don't want to fuck it up, but I want to see you fuck it up"
"I just wanna Luhhhh You"
"On the line like Free Throws"
and our favorite;
"I ain't really playin' no games, like my ankle got sprained"

This track is perfect for the ladies who want to be sung to. And its perfect for the dudes who are looking for that special girl to call their summer love.

This last track is guaranteed to be a major banger. Put "Type Beat" on in the car at full volume and try not to let the feeling of the 2005 Hyphy Movement take over your mind and your limbs. It's the kind of beat that hits so hard that you start dancing while driving ad you take your hands off the steering wheel.

With every bar P-Lo spits, you'll be shouting "Aye! Aye! Aye!" while encouraging your passengers to hit that shit hard. The authentic Bay sound let's you know that the dream of Mac Dre still lives on through P-Lo.

Or if you don't like to be an unsafe driver, put this on at the pool party. Everyone will be giggin' with a red cup in hand, making sure not to spill a single drop of that ice-cold Patrennesey.

I know that they prayin' I don't hit again
​But I'm different, in my bag like some M&M's
This shit get spooky
I catch a snow groupie
Don't take her to movies
Bussdown in jacuzzis

Read those lyrics in Mac Dre's voice. Anyone who has ever listened to him can hear his voice saying these words. This is the precise lyricism that the listener won't get from anyone not from Northern California.

P-Lo has yet to release music that can't be danced too. But his music isn't all beats, there is substance in the work. If it was just about the beats, he'd just simply be a producer.

He continues to prove why he is one of the best artists in the Bay Area, and one of the best producer/rappers in the game. Somethin' Light has something for everyone.
