What up world!
As we continue working on some new stuff, which is coming out beautifully if we do say so ourselves, we thought we'd hit you with something else from a while back.
This is "Check The Rhythm", the second song that we did together. A little back story, the first beat that our boy, A. Temp, gave us for this track was WAY different. A lot more synths & a totally different feel for the song. He then surprised us with this remix. Enjoy! & let us know what you think.
Side Note: We've used the 2nd verse as a part of the "That One Shit", acapella part of our live shows.

BlackOut (Download or Stream)
What up world!?
Your favorite rapper's favorite rappers (favorite rappers) are taking some time to work on some new shit. Our two main projects on deck are the completion of our EP, which'll be coming out sooner than later & we're also beginning work on our debut album, which'll be coming out later than sooner.
As we've been working on these new songs, we thought it'd be good to take a look at some of our earlier stuff.
Here's the first track that Special Optics ever did. A track entitled, "BlackOut", produced by our boy, A. Temp of 3 AM.
As far as backstory, we had just met A. Temp & when we went to his house, this was one of the beats he played us. Now, us being the Superbad fans that we are instantly recognized the sample from the song they play during the opening credits. So, we took the beat home & wrote two verses & A. Temp wrote a verse as well. On our way to record it, TnT decided to add another verse but didn't finish it all the way so when it came time to lay it, TnT freestyles the last few bars & manages to come up with one of the most ignorant quips about oral sex that wasn't said by Too Short (Blow Job Betty, look it up).
Anyway, TnT opens the song, JCaliber follows & A. Temp closes it out & provides the hook & the heat.
Enjoy.

Your favorite rapper's favorite rappers are fresh off their last performance at Time Out in Concord this past Saturday. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to everyone that came out & rocked with us. Now for those that missed it, we're gonna go ahead & show you some pics from the night, but we hope that next time we can have some of YOUR PICS! : )
