Mayer Hawthorne is an artist signed to Stones Throw, who adds a unique quality to the label and definitely on the rise of new artists. I've posted stuff on in the past on Mayer Hawthorne and thought this would be another great post. Hope you enjoy the story behind the record and the free download.
Mayer Hawthorne explains the story behind this record:
“I met Nottz at Nightlife's Dilla Tribute in L.A. and we just kept in contact. I had always been a fan of Nottz since the 90s. He sent me a bunch of beats and at first I had no idea what to do with any of them, but eventually it hit me. I sang a hook for him on his album as well.
The song is a cover of a cat named Otis Leville which is one of my all time fav soul sides, but relatively unknown 45. I don't think Nottz even knew it. I actually even made up some of the words because no one could make out what he said in the original. ha!
When Nottz sent me that batch - that particular beat stood out. It had the same chord progression as the Otis Leville, so I just went with it.”
