GOH Vs. Sugarstarr feat. Redman & Method Man – I Used To Be [Video]

GOH vs. Sugarstarr is a one-off collaboration between a bunch of DJs from across Germany, and the legendary US Rap-Star Redman. On the one hand side – the debut of the new combo GOH which is headed by Mauro Mondello, Slick, Tam-R and Giulio, and even Redman as “the voice”. On the other hand side Sugarstarr – known as the one half of the worldtouring DJ-Duo Syke’n’Sugarstarr. The result – “I Used To Be”. A mellow & funk driven housetune with a stunning female vocal-hook in a typical Aretha Franklin manner, guided by Redman’s distinctive and typical rap performance. And – if it’s not enough – even his fabulous buddy Method Man is on board as well to garnish this brandnew release and make it an outstanding summertune.
