[edit] About C-Side
Since forming C-SIDE six years ago, Gator and cousins Kenny Kold and Bo-Q have had a knack for not only making hits – they’ve produced for some of the biggest names in the business – but also coming up with clever songs that are body-rockers and brain ticklers. Listen carefully and you just might learn something – about yourself.
Spiking the set are songs like the inspirational never give-up anthem “Almost There,” “Broke Hands,” and “That Package.” “’Broke Hands’ is really touching on the fact that being broke is not where you wanna be,” Gator explains. “It’s about getting’ money and keepin’ it because you don’t want to fall into that broke category again.” And on “That Package” C-SIDE delivers a little advice about unprotected sex. “This song is touching on diseases and the importance of protecting yourself,” says Gator.
It’s C-SIDE’s ability to be different, resist the status quo and dare to make music that is thought-provoking but still fun, that will insure their domination of the music industry. A ride through the ‘hood just got a little more enjoyable and a whole lot more interesting.
