OG David James - No More Parties Remix #OGFridayz (video)
It’s not Good Friday, but it’s a great Friday when it’s #OGFridayz. This week we receive episode 8 from the Reno raised, Oxnard born artist OG David James. This time he chooses a modern classic to hop on by way of Coi Leray’s “No More Parties.” This one is probably a new favorite from the series so far. Aside from having the most satisfying of melodies, the message being conveyed is all real talk. Although the rap lifestyle comes with its fair share of questionable environments, David makes sure that the head space remains clear for blessings and nourishing energy.
“Drawing all the blue prints, closing all the loose ends. That was not directed, I’m like fuck it, if the shoe fits. Wear it, I ain’t focused on appearance. I ain’t focused on no shit that don’t contribute to my spirit.”
When growth and change become frequent in your life, the people around you change how they see you. Perception can be jaded when people get the wrong ideas about your trajectory. Not being able to understand the obstacles and steps required to meet your goals is the biggest disconnect from those who aren’t pursuing the same dream. David is aware of the change in the energy that he draws. With this life, putting out good energy may attract something of the opposite in addition to reciprocated energy. The sentiment is fitting for the name of the beat “No More Parties.”
Although the record comes in at a minute and forty five seconds, the verse contains a lot of philosophy and perspective from the young OG. David cleverly sprinkles real life feelings from his journey and turns it into a vibe perfect for any kickback with all your day ones. I find myself wishing that OG David James had a verse on the original song. He really took the beat and made it his own, a skill that makes the OG Fridayz series particularly intriguing. Give this one a spin and see if you are rocking with the OG mix of the record. I’m going to keep spinning this visual by Angelo DePrater on repeat and keep the vibes right.
