Blackalicious's Gift of Gab is set to release the aptly titled album Next Logical Progression on the Bay Area's Quannum Projects later this month. The talented wordsmith's "Wack But Good People" has been remixed by Wavves and Kynan Williams, younger brother of Wavves frontman Nathan Williams. "I used to listen to [Blackalicious'] Blazing Arrow on repeat with my friends in high school," says Williams, "so working with Gab is kind of full circle for me."

"Wack But Good People," says Gab, is "a song about a homie trying to get on, but he kinda needs a little more work first. It's all in good fun and humor. Remix is bananas." Check it out for yourself: Next Logical Progression comes out March 27th, but you can download the "Wack But Good People" remix here.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
