His new single “Fellin’ Right,” which Ghettoblaster shares today, is an upbeat, feel-good homage to the good vibes that evokes the nostalgia of cruising through childhood neighborhoods and reminiscing with friends. This is what he said about it:
“The story behind ‘Feelin’ Right’ is really just a celebration of life. The vibe you get when your entire squad comes together for one of those summer nights you’ll never forget. Inspiration behind it came from performing at house parties in Wisconsin, North Dakota and Minnesota. Every time we performed the song, the entire house looked like a scene from the movie “Project X”; people throwing up in the front yard, folks huddled around doing a drunk cypher, twerking contests, beer pong, etc. Of course, the morning after, everyone is trying to piece together the entire night. Needless to say, there was never a dull moment throwing those shows.”
