Sissy Nobby Record Release Party

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Sissy Nobby Lay Me Down Cover

“Lay Me Down” is a Sissy Nobby rap track in the vain of “Da Letter” and “Consequences” with raw sexual lyrics and a heartfelt delivery. Produced by Dre Skull, this anthemic, midtempo rap song is equally indebted to the sounds of No Limit and Rap A Lot Records, carrying on a Southern tradition of syrupy synth strings and head nodding bass.

You’ve heard the “Lay Me Down” remixes and it’s finally time to drop the single. Tomorrow night is the Sissy Nobby “Lay Me Down” record release party in New Orleans, Louisiana and Dre Skull, Rusty Lazer and Sissy Nobby will be in the building.

You can order the limited edition vinyl now – only 500 copies.

If you’re in New Orleans, get the full record release party details here.
