The Making Of Series (1st Edition) "You Got Me"

"You Got Me" is the first song we are using here on the Garage Band BBS/Tha Hood On Remote's new Series: The Making Of.......


This song was made in 2003 back when OH10 had not yet started dating Luana Lewis (who is now his Baby Mom).
This song was made when Va'Les used to live on Walnut Lane. Va'Les and Luana were always friends because Luana was close friends with Va'Les's Baby Moms....They had wanted to collab for years but never got around to it. This was back when Kwin MD had the Roland 880 EX and used to bring it all over tha hood as a portable studio. All's he needed was an electrical socket with 3 holes to plug in his 3 prong plug and the magic was on & poppin from there...

Kwin went down to pick up the artist at her Grandpa's crib in SWP.....They went over Va'Les crib and the collab took place there. Luana Can Sing, man she can Blow! Luana Can also Flow pretty smoov too...Va'Les played her a series of beats that he made and she picked one. Any time Va'Les records, preparation is optional. He freestyled his verse (which was towards the end of the song) he yells addlibs in Mix Tape Dee Jay Fashion...."Luana Lewis From North we got some Hot Shit, Beat's by Drama Q on this B.I.P. Production....Oh!!!!"

The tracks she used to lay her vocals were about 3, One Melody Vocal Track, One Harmony Vocal Track & One Addlib track....

Her Rap verse was on the same track as one of her Vocal Tracks, she used only one track for the addlibs for both the singing & the Rap...She didn't take too many takes, she was more confident then most females that Kwin ever recorded with. Most of it was one take type stuff...Va'Les addlibed her begining part of that hook after his verse and she addlibed his verse with singing as well...

This Duet was recorded by Kwin MD and mixed down at APG Studios....

At the end Kwin did a little P. Diddy / Jazzy Fizzle Esk type Naration by tryna be funny and he was not talking about Luana when he said "Damn girl, you got me tryna figure out when the next time you gon call me is, damn girl them the firmest titties I ever touched too" with Luana singing in the back round "You got me"....Kwin was actually talking about a Girl He was dating at the time.....

Shortly after this song was recorded OH10 and Luana Lewis began to be boyfriend & girlfriend...
She doesn't record as much anymore...

OH10 doesn't record that much either, he's been chilling with Va'Les since and they stayed pretty good friends up until Va'Les got encarcerated...Only Va'Les & his peoples kept in Contact with OH10 and Luana Lewis...

They are part of the original S.O.A.z group but are long lost to the Music Recording world these days...
