Special guest, Lady Prowl, will be opening things up to give you that feminine touch you need. ~~~* One of Philly's finest blogs, Call Me Mickey, has posted a link to a new remix of mine. It's for Pharrell's "Frontin". I always liked the tune and figured I'd give it a go. Make sure you head over there for the download link. It's in that 130bpm party side of things.
