COMMENT: BANGING
BEAT , DEL B went crazy on the Drums, this is a VICTORY joint from Mr. Vector
.Vector talks about his Grand arrival into the game coupled with the phenomenon
that comes with fame/success i.e. MONEY CARS GIRLS HOUSES. Something for the
club, celebrations which is apparently clear from the punchlines
TRACK TITTLE: HUSTLE
FT SOUND SULTAN
PRODUCER: MR.SMITH
COMMENT: One of
the best tracks of T2C, Vector employs the experienced and legendary hands of
Sound Sultan with NAIJA NINJAS 1ST LADY YUNGRACEY backing them
up .HUSTLE is a quintessential HUSTLERS ANTHEM laced
with thought provoking lines ,going by
the name of the track ITS ALL ABOUT THE HUSTLE .Vector and Sound Sultan talk about how one must hustle his or her way to
the top of the ladder despite harsh conditions and circumstances…TO BAKE BREAD
YOU GOT TO GO THROUGH HEAT,I CANT FEED IF I DON’T STARVE,I WONT FINISH IF I
DON’T START.
TRACK TITTLE: DON’T
ENVY ME FT ROCK STEADY
PRODUCER: SHOGON
COMMENT: Vector
brings Hypertek nigga Rocksteady on board to run things on this track. Is Tha Viper
addressing someone in particular or just an imaginary person? That aside.
Vector presents himself as GODs ENGINEERING, he addresses the individual who
envies him to desist from such and holding him down amounts to a waste of time
as doing so would also stagnate such person.RockSteady adds his reggae cum R N
B feel to complete the track
TRACK TITTLE: SHAYE
PRODUCER: TEE Y MIX
COMMENT: The
expert touch of TY MIX is evident on this one with the piano and strings .Mr. Vector
is in a jubilant mood here after the rigors of hustle, he wants to “SAYE’ i.e.
flex and enjoy. FEEL GOOD TRACK ON THE WHOLE.
TRACK TITTLE: I LIKE
GIRLS
PRODUCER: DEL B
COMMENT: Vector
in a flirtatious mood here declaring his love for the opposite sex.Track laced
with sexual innuendos in form of metaphors danceable song also this should have
one nodding all through
TRACK TITTLE: YOU BAD
PRODUCER: DA PIANO
COMMENT: The
flirtatious Vector sounds like he has found his missing rib and he is ready to
introduce her to his parents after experiences with other girls by eulogizing
her “YOU BAD”,Is he referring to someone in existence or just figment of
imagination? TIME WOULD TELL

every word spoken

on the hook as Vector drops heavy

the bomb blasts
TRACK TITTLE: FEAR NO
