DJ Irwan feat. Lil Wayne - That Money OUT NOW!
Dwayne Carter, better known as hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne, is currently behind bars, serving a year-long sentence in Rikers Island jail in New York for possession of a loaded gun. The weapon in question was found on his tour bus. This small fact however has done nothing to deter his appearance on a fantastic new record called That Money he made together with Dutch DJ Irwan.
Rappers as a rule generally aren't the types to let external circumstances dictate whether or not they are making music. Both Notorious B.I.G and Tupac have continued to have illustrious and profitable (for someone) careers from beyond the grave, which makes something as minor as a custodial prison sentence seem almost trivial by comparison.
Besides these criminal facts Lil Wayne was the best selling artist of 2008 in the States, his album "Tha Carter III" sold 1 million copies in one week. The first three singles released from the album, "Lollipop", "A Milli", and "Got Money" all achieved Top 10 success on the Billboard Hot 100. The track "Lollipop" been hit more than 10 million downloads.
That Money is pure gangster, with Lil Wayne waxing lyrical across some heavy beats to that favourite of all rap topics - the acquisition of wealth. 'I wear them skinny jeans so you see my fat wallet' states our boy. Probably a fashion statement best left until his release, but this aside the track has the potential to go supersonic. And not to forget the vocals of DJ Irwan himself! Besides the fact that he is a fantastic DJ/Producer he is also blessed with some heavy vocal skills and definitely shows this in his new track.
Unless you're a billionaire playboy or an international superstar the name DJ Irwan may not be one which is familiar to you. Although he is a true globetrotter, DJing in Ibiza, the UK, Dubai, Indonesia, Germany, Singapore, Greece, Scandinavia and more, his regular rotation is playing at royal private parties in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Here he provides the entertainment for a host of high-calibre guests that have included Janet Jackson, Alicia Keys and Richard Branson. He also opened as support act for international pop superstar Rihanna during NYE in Abu Dhabi, going on to DJ at her private party and getting a rapturous response from the star.
It was at one such star-studded party that DJ Irwan was introduced to the management of Lil Wayne. Numbers were exchanged and soon DJ Irwan was sending across his beats. Suitably impressed, Lil Wayne's manager engineered a collaboration between the two. The rest, as they say, is history.
Expect huge things from this track. It has all the ingredients necessary to become a global hip-hop smash - style, aggression, awesome beats and enough of a club flavour to get the girls grinding. Add this to a fantastic backstory that combines money, fame, celebrity and scandal and it's all set to capture the imaginations of fans everywhere.
That Money by DJ Irwan feat. Lil Wayne is out today on Cloud 9 Dance and available to buy at www.itunes.com, www.beatport.com and all other download portals.
That Money is available in the US from May 14th.
That Money includes a great remix package that represents the Dutch House scene. The Dutch House sound is becoming increasingly popular and it looks like it is here to stay and conquer the world. DJ’s like Tiesto, Armin van Buuren and Fedde le Grand already achieved international success and worked together with the biggest stars. It seems that DJ Irwan will act in their footsteps!
