Audible Treats Audio Stream: T-Pain & Kanye West "Buy You A Drank" Remix
08.10.2007
The Song:
It's official: T-Pain's former #1 Billboard single "Buy You a Drank" has resurfaced in its remixed form, this time boasting hip-hop's leading man Kanye West in place of Young Joc. The first verse belongs to Kanye, who ups T-Pain's ante with the line, "F*ck a drink, I'ma buy the bar if you're worth it." A man of his word and his wallet, Mr. West ends his verse and turns things back over to T-Pain and the chart-topping single we all know and love. Check out the streams for a powerhouse, late summer remix of an early summer smash.
The Background:
T-Pain got his big break when, after doing an unofficial remix of Akon's "Locked Up," the African sensation signed T-Pain to his Konvict Music imprint. Since then, the soulful Florida native has had a meteoric ascension topping charts in the mainstream, hip-hop and R&B genres. T-Pain's first solo effort, Rappa Ternt Sanga (2005, Jive/Konvict Musik) brought the smash hits "I'm Sprung," and "I'm In Love With A Stripper," which sold over five million ring tones combined. Coming back strong in 2007, T-Pain has been hard at work constructing his sophomore joint Epiphany. "There has been a growth inside of me since I made that first album," T-Pain explains. Personal without being pretentious, Epiphany offers the listener a variety of musical styles that ranges from the snappin' first single "Buy U a Drank" (featuring Yung Joc) to the rebel reggae furor of "Shotz" to the deep message of "Suicide." In addition to Epiphany, T-Pain is currently gearing up to start working with various artists on outside projects including R. Kelly, Kanye West, Usher, Britney Spears and tour/label mate Chris Brown. "I've gotten so many calls from artists who want to work with me," T-Pain explains. "Right now, it's a very exciting time."
