Saucy P – Crew Love Step

February 3rd, 2012

Tracks sampling The Weeknd’s “Crew Love” blockbuster with Drake have flooded the interwebs non-stop since it was released – and it’s great.

He made his name through the Jersey Club scene, and you can hear the influence in this track. But it defies solid categorization, living on that bleeding edge tip. Enjoy the exclusive download.
