Audible Treats Audio Stream: Federation "College Girl"
05.16.2007
(Brooklyn, NY May 16, 2007)
The Song:
"College Girl," the single off Federation's new album It's Whateva, is a hilarious shout-out to all the college girls from across the nation that have given the raucous group love, knowledge, and brain as they've gone from town to town spreading the hyphy movement. With an infectious beat produced by Rick Rock and a ridiculously catchy hook: "She's a college girl - she's nasty!" This song is sure to be a favorite across college campuses. To make sure of this, Doonie Baby, Goldie, and Stresmatic shout-out girls from as many college campuses as possible. The list includes students from Cal state, Sac State, Washington, Spielman, UCR, Howard, USC, AUM, NYU, Tuskeegee, Washington State, TSU, CSU, UNLV, Solano College, CSM, USF, Cal Berkeley and Alabama
The Background:
Federation consists of the trio of Doonie Baby, Goldie, and Stresmatic. They are guided by veteran producer Rick Rock, who has helmed songs by artists such as Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, and E-40. Federation is largely responsible for setting off the hyphy movement in the Bay Area, one of the most significant expressions of musical youth that the region has seen since the Summer of Love. Federation's 2003 debut The Album, which yielded the club and local radio hits "Hyphy" and "Go Dumb," was far ahead of its time for the world, but it galvanized a real movement back home in the Bay Area. Federation's second album It's Whateva features guest appearances by performers as diverse as Snoop Dogg, drummer/MTV reality star Travis Barker, and even the Walter Hawkins Choir. The new album brings an expanded light into the musical machinations of a group that's committed to avoiding the pigeonholes of the trends it sets while furthering the elastic definition of the hyphy sound.
