ATTENTION: The first 10 physical copies of this EP will be PERSONALLY SIGNED BY MIKE BARS. Limited time offer. What is sex without love? ...sex. It's still sex!!! if you're a fan of Hip Hop music who loves to do what Grown Folks do, order a yourself a copy of 'The Grown Folks Sessions' EP by West Coast rapper/producer, Mike Bars. You will not regret it! With it's hard-hitting, seductive instrumental, the original version of Grown Folks is breathing with beautiful strings, and bubbling, futuristic synthesizers that could only resemble a cross over between the production of R. Kelly and Dr. Dre. Bars' trademark delivery and clever sense of humor, are sure to make you hit the rewind button at least more than once. In fact, the song received SUCH good reactions upon it's release, that it has pushed Mike to make 5 completely different versions of the song. After teaming up with an A-List studio musician to figure out how to make Bars' various rhythm patterns of the song go with guitar, Mike recorded a completely acoustic version of his sex anthem just for the listening pleasure of real music fans. Lined with latin influence, this track is unlike almost anything hip hop lovers have heard before. After joining the 13 part north west A Capella group, The Portland Timbre, and linking up with the talented vocal percussionist/singer/music director, Ian Adams-Dirks, Mike Bars recorded the amazing all A Capella version of Grown Folks. Using only voices, and NO INSTRUMENTS, Mike and the Timbre have created a masterpiece in A Capella/ Hip Hop cross overs. But Mike didn't stop there - to give his fans something just a little extra, he produced an uptempo rendition to his original classic - The Grown Folks Remix. The beat is faster, busier, and more electronic, resembling something of a late 90s Twista hip hop track, rather than something out of 2012 -- except for the modern dub step wobbles added in every so often just to spice things up a bit. Finally, to top it all off, included in this magnificent EP is a bonus track called 'Hip Hop' which Mike actually recorded for a project in his High School English class. The song is rough, uncut, and clearly shows Mike's 'underground' hip hop appeal and raw lyricism that some may have missed in the different versions of Grown Folks. This EP will only be available for a limited time, so make sure to get it while you can!
