This week, we have a beat called “Rich Like Me [Who's Your Daddy].”

The type of song I envision on this beat is purely about swag and riches. For all of you rappers out there who are trying to show these small money chumps up to grab their lady, then this one’s for you. Sampled from the classic song by The Zombies, “Time of the Season,” this track just exudes swag and money.

“Straight No Chaser” is a group of 10 male vocalists, harmonizing their way through covers such as “Time of the Season” by the Zombies, “Africa” by Toto, “Up on the Roof” by The Drifters, and a nice rendition of “Wonderwall” by Oasis.

I’m always up for unique music performances, and although I’ve seen some cool a capella performances, there was a certain swag to these guys that really caught my ear and eye.  Their performance of “Time of the Season,” (coincidentally something I had sampled, more on that later. =] ) was great.  The vocal arrangement was on point, and the performance was strong with the vocalists showing their personalities not just in their voices but in their delivery and actions.  There was a particular cut when Jerome Collins (one of their Tenors and soloists) was moving his head in such a way with the adlibs that showed how much they enjoyed what they do and how much they put into their performances, and another where he was doing some Michael Jackson moves.  I hope to catch them in Atlantic City in July as they will be at the Harrah’s for almost two months.

Here’s their rendition of Wonderwall, which I thought was pretty dope:

Hope you enjoy the tip.  Stay tuned tomorrow for my review on drum recording; I’m going to go over my processes for the original kit I’m putting out this Wednesday. =]
