I don’t rock with the radio too tough these days. Hearing the same ten songs twenty times in twenty-four hours is way too much for me. Makes me want to get violent. Especially when a lot of the music they play on radio simply suck. But when I’m in the car, I find myself tuning to various radio stations that I can’t discern the differences between since they all play the same Top 40/EDM/Hip Pop stuff these days. Somewhere sprinkled in the mix, I’d hear “Pretty Gang” and say to myself, “I like this song.” I never bothered to pay attention to the lyrics, because it’s all about the hooks, and I can fuck with a 
Pretty gang, that girl from the pretty gang
I’m a street nigga from the hood
And I only fuck with girls from the pretty gang
Pretty gang, that girl from the pretty gang
I’m a real nigga from the hood
But I only fuck with girls from the pretty gang
hook. I can relate. I’m just as shallow.

As I sing-rapped to the hook, I had zero clue this was a Red Cafe record. I’m pretty certain no one remembers who Red Cafe is. I bet his mother doesn’t remember Red Cafe, and simply remember his government. Red Cafe had this, and this, and this, which I thought was a Ryan Leslie and Rick Ross record. Basically, dude has his moment and most thought he faded away with all those other rappers who had a moment, and was never able to build a sustainable career off of that moment.

Imagine my surprise when I hear “What Else?” on the radio. I’m glad to see Red Cafe is still putting out superficial rap records. What Else would I expect?
