Hate All U Want
A no nonsense, crunch guitar, funk track with lyrics that perfectly address both the static and noise of life as well as the jealousy and envy from the songwriter's once close friends from the old neighborhood who fear being left behind. An affirmation of pushing forward through adversity to reach personal goals is the message within this song and the artist delivers his thoughts on the subject with a no looking back, in your face attitude. Featuring a slamming drum track from world renown Jerry Marotta, (background vocals as well) multi layered keyboards courtesy of Harvey Jones and the bone shaking guitar chops of Bad Brain's Dr Know, "Hate All U Want" grabs you from the first bar and won't let go. An impassioned vocal delivery by Smiley ends in a repeated shout out to all members of the NYC tribes to get with it in an anthemic fade out.
