The Video:

In the coming weeks, SL Jones and DJ Burn One will release their new collaborative EP, Paraphernalia, and while the rapper and producer continue to put the finishing touches on that project, they're excited to release a new song today, a teaser for fans, "Wave Runner."

While "Wave Runner" won't officially be included on Paraphernalia, it's the first song that SL and Burn One ever recorded together, and a great example of the quick chemistry the pair was able to build together. "I met Burn One at the studio and we just started vibing," recalls SL. "After bouncing a couple ideas off each other, we just went in and knocked it out."

That free wheeling, laid back approach comes across well on "Wave Runner," with Burn One's cooled out, airy instrumentation serving as the perfect backdrop for SL's smoothed out delivery and bouncy flow. "It was the beat, really, it just gave me that feeling," explains SL. "It's just one of those songs that sounds good when you let it play."

The Background:

With the Rock on his back and a Razorbacks fitted cocked just so on his dome, rapper SL Jones is striking out in 2011 with a slew of new projects as he continues to put his hometown, Little Rock, Arkansas, on the map. Jones' new mixtape, The Number 23, was hosted by Don Cannon, and the retail re-release offered a slimmed-down non-DJ version that included two previously unreleased tracks, along with features from Pill, Waka Flocka, Killer Mike, Trae Tha Truth, Yo Gotti, Rocko, and more, along with production from Lex Luger, Don Cannon, Shawty Redd, and M16.
