The R 'n' B singer and songwriter known
as Outtatown EQ has released his latest official single, “Shawty
Got a Thing for a G.” The track has been released on the popular
OTMG independent music label, entirely without support from the
corporate music industry. Classy, crooning, smooth as glass and suave
as a satin jacket, “Shawty Got a Thing for a G” is a clear sign
that rhythm and blues is still a vibrant scene on the west coast of
America.
Outtatown EQ cites as main artistic
influences only four popular musicians, all of them from outside R
'n' B and performing rather in the realms of rap and hip hop. These
include such legends as Tupac Shakur, the Notorious B.I.G., E-40, and
Lil' Oakland, Outtatown's own brother, with whom he appeared on the
2013 mixtape, “The Lost Tape” with the likes of A15150,
T-Mafianie, and Salokin. “The Lost Tape” appeared on Datpiff.com
and other official urban-music drop sites courtesy of All4r1ne
Records 'n' Productions in association with Outtatown Music Group
(OTMG).
Speaking of the themes of his new
single, Outtatown EQ writes that his message is, “To relax and
enjoy life! Live it up, we have one life. Live it up and party, and
keep it G. Keep it 100, that's the main topic. Keep it G.”
Outtatown EQ was born and raised in the
urban music underground of Oakland, CA. He has been making music with
other artists since the age of nine, his first crew being the
Soldiers. At 16, he decided it was time to take his music to the next
level.
“I realized I had talent,” he
writes. “I got in contact with a few of my friends, and they
challenged me to be better as a person, as a singer, and as a
songwriter. Every day that I woke up, I made a song. I wrote a song,
I felt like a better person.”
This trajectory led Outtatown EQ to the
success that is embodied in “Shawty Got a Thing for a G.”
“I followed my dreams,” he
continues. “I stuck with my heart. I started making my own beats at
19-years old. I make my beats on FL Studio, Reasons, GarageBand, and
on an MPC 2000. In the month of February, 2014 I made the beat for
“Shawty...” In the month of May I wrote the lyrics for
“Shawty...” In September the song was recorded, and on November
5th this song officially drops everywhere: iTunes,
Pandora, MTV, PlayStation Network, ReverbNation, Facebook, etc.”
“Shawty Got a Thing for a G” by
Outtatown EQ is available online worldwide.
