Pretty sweet little instrumental tune here that we did early morning (like 2 PM) before the rest of the crew woke up. The lack of capitalization of the name of the artist and song title really angers me and I know I'm not the only one. So damn it I capitalized it in the title here and all I have left to say is GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER mASAYA
