YYY - Phenomena
Kofi's Hat has the much buzzed about YYY's song "Phenomena." It sounds awesome (MP3 link).
Jeff was at the NYC show on Friday and described the track as so:
"Phenomena," was a juggernaut of propulsive rythym. It's performance was highlighted and enhanced by some serious lighting design. Towering shadows of Karen and Nick traded wall time as guitar squeals and the "White Lines" lifted chorus cohered into a dark and borderline funky banger. A highlight of the show's stellar stagecraft and a fitting lead in energy wise to a manic "Mystery Girl."
Listen to the chorus. Then answer this - does LL Cool J share songwriting credit?

That line originally came from, "white lines" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. LL was quoting too, but Karen could be an LL fan, who knows?

I'm betting that Karen does love Cool James.
But thanks for correcting this oh so embarrasing faux pas. If you could see me you'd see a disgraced man walking away with his head hung in shame.
