(2)Dope. Boog Brown’s upcoming Brown Study Remixes is now up for pre-order on UGHH.

Boog Brown sets up three stories of betrayal that end in karmic payback for her song Blink. The first story is of everyman who cheats with what he thinks is the good shit, not realizing he’s bringing the HIV home. The second of a treacherous female always leaving a good man for wife beater. And the third of a plotter who plans to get rich on a thug move but underestimates what it takes and instead is taken. Def Dee backs the entire produciton with bawdy burlesque inspired beat that matches the sexual overtness of the track, mirroring the 3 seductions in Boog’s verses: sexual, financial, and criminal.
