The Song
The song's title 'Born Ready', is the nickname of NBA star Lance Stephenson. Castro's lyrics pay homage to Lance and legendary street ballers, including Pat the Roc, to create a motivational rap mantra. The song is driven forward by beats and an arpeggiated synth sample that are all taken from the MEGA bundle exclusive, MEGA Sampler. The song also features synth sounds created with the Unfiltered Audio Lion plugin.
About the Artist
Curly Castro is a son of all three lands: West Indies, Brooklyn and West Philly, channeling all of them on his latest album Little Robert Hutton: an LP inspired by equal parts George Orwell, Spike Lee, and MF Doom, featuring Island riddims that collide with Gotham drums. His music has been described as activism for rebels who outlived the Decepticons of Brooklyn and the MOVE bombing of West Philly, while memorizing every word to Funcrusher Plus, Dah’ Shinin’, and Soul Revolution.
