Since my Green Bay Packers traded away Brett Favre this past August, I have closely followed his new squad, the New York Jets. While doing some casual reading, I accidentally discovered that Jets starting running back, Thomas Jones, both owns and operates his own record label, Outta Pocket Entertainment. The flagship artist on OPE is an Atlanta R&B singer named Myko, whose debut album, Options, is scheduled for release in January. Ratcheting up the anticipation is Late Night Creep, in part due to the production and vocal contributions from the late Static Major (R.I.P.). It’s obvious that Myko’s intended female audience will swoon in response to his vocal stylings, especially when he turns on the falsetto. So while his boss sheds tacklers and follows his blocks to the end zone, Myko will try to follow suit. Take a listen and let us know if he scores…
Static had some serious beats man. Damn shame he had to leave us. This is a nice night time ride track after you leave the club with ya lady on the way home, ya know. This is that kinda jam.
The song is nothing original, it's a typical mid-tempo r&b song...this isn't negative at all it's clear! The production is good of course, I hardly find bad productions in this kind of tracks...but he didn't surprise me that much, his voice is ok and yeah the voicebox wasn't needed! It's a radio song but I think it won't be remembered that long
I am not sure how successful an artist can be who is signed to a record label owned by an athlete (see Magic Johnson, Deon Sanders and Ron Artest)... but Myko has some talent. Pause, I must give it up to Static. I was fortunate enough to speak with Mr. Major about a year before he passed and he was one of the most humble dudes in this industry. Damn shame.
Smooth track, Static was the man, God Bless You Stephen and R.I.P. fam, Myko does a really good job on this track, i'll listen to it again, Outta Pocket might rise to fame here soon if they've got this guy..
