Ummm, I'm not into "dread-heads", but "Shady Nate" is waaaaaaaay cuter, than I was thinking.
I don't know what I was thinking, but I shouldn't of thought that!!!!!
2011 was a hot year for "West Oakland" rapper "Shady Nate". In July, "Nate" teamed up with "DJ Fresh" to release "Still Based On A True Story", and just three months later, on October 11th, "Nate" released his latest solo album, "Son Of The Hood". He continues to release a string of visuals from both projects, and this latest video, for the single "Getting Paid" from "Son Of The Hood", continues "Nate's" streak of gritty, street visuals.
"Getting Paid" is a tried-and-true street anthem, but one that succeeds by not sacrificing reality for fantasy."I'm out on that grind all day/ And I'm trying to get paid," sings VT on the song's chorus, before adding, "Cause, homie, I'm trying to eat."
For his part, "Nate" does much the same as he balances out the track with a combination of slick talk and darker realizations, as he follows lines like, "I let my money talk for me, it's nothing I gotta say" by rapping, "Look out for them boys, they're trying to lock us/ In them decoys, they sit and watch us."
