Nick Hook feat. 24hrs - Gucci's [Audio] - TrackBlasters Entertainment
“Brooklyn producer Nick Hook teams up with ATL mystery man 24hrs for the slinky “Gucci’s”, taken from Nick’s “Relationships” album, out 11/1. True to the LP’s collaborative spirit, “Gucci’s” is unexpectedly catchy and greater than the sum of its parts; alien vocal processing meets trunk decimating bass, resulting in what may become the first improvised analog synth jam to make Magic City rotation.”
