Cmon I like Tainy and J Balvin but for an episode like this I would prefer him to do one about "La Santa" or even One Day/Un Dia but its okay, props to him

[@faviolaura9403]

RIGHT ?

[@ShadesOfSepia]

I think at this point these are arranged by the labels solely for promotional purposes. So there isnt much value in doing songs that are on the back end of their promotional shelf life

Hello Tainy, My name is Blaise Smith and I co-wrote the Spongebob Theme song and also played all of the instruments except the drums. I played the flute part (actually an Irish penny whistle) that you sampled and you did such an amazing job on the track. I just came across this video and it's been fun to watch. Peace.

[@bynd481]

really! nice to know bro

[@producedbytrippin5703]

This was a really fun and interesting beat. So hard that they used the actual intro to make the whole beat. I like it!

[@poormansrt]
