You Heard it Here First

Faith BoogieFaith Boogie - Hey Hey Shorty.

So, Faith Boogie had one of those "You Hear It First" dealies on MTV starting today. You can find it here. We've been pushing the heat of Faith Boogie since January when we first heard about her. We're right there with you, waiting for an album to drop.

I love that slithering little string sample. It's ridiculous. Good flow, good beats (that she produces!). What else do you need? Here's what I said about her earlier this year:

"She'll be entering 9th grade this fall and she's already on the engineering track. And she spits rhymes? Classic. This is what kids need -- a true inspiration. She's not selling herself with sex and diamonds, and she's not putting all her eggs in the hip hop basket. Instead she's focused on her education, and squeezing in studio time and shows when she can. I have a lot of respect for that. Good for Faith."

Anyway, she's awesome. Still no CD, but you can get all the info you need about her at faithboogie.com. Click it.

"Hey Hey Shorty" is one of my top 40 tracks of the year (#37, to be exact), thanks to her appearance on this very website. I'm glad to hear that Miss Boogie is getting a little more exposure now.

Awesome find! She sounds alot like a young Lil Kim. Not a big fan of hip hop, but this has a great lyrical style and the loop fits right in.

My wife loves it and will be using the song and her story as a tool to motivate the at-risk students she teaches (7th/8th grade)
