This is the second feature in a three part series, I just decided now that it would be a three parter (here’s the first part). The three parter basically covers my favorites of Pretty Lights. I discovered the group just a couple weeks ago and am already obsessed. This one, apposed to my first post, is a lot more worthy to rock out to, and man does it rock! Derek Vincent Smith is one hell of a DJ – he mixes that shit out of a bunch of samples and comes up with some amazing music. I believe “Hot Like Sauce” has Big Boi of OutKast mixed in there (at around 3:14), but I could be mistaken (I often am). This shit is bumpin, and is definitely rock out worthy while you “go hyphy in this bitch”.
Also, follow us on Twitter, so you’ll know when the next Pretty Lights feature will be! Oh, and as always, tell me what ya think…

by the way, just browsing through your blog. the clip “ask around the streets man I’m certified” is from the song “certified feat. akon” by glasses malone. in 3’45″ you can hear akon singing “ask around the streets man i’m certified, cross seas all my customers are satisfied.”
Thanks Kristina! I was actually just talking about this with my friend a couple days ago. Was wondering where it came from.
The first sample at the beginning is an Aaron Neville song.
Who is the female vocalist in this song, the last one, it’s driving me nuts lol.
Hot like sauce…Has to be the weakest metaphor ever…
I believe the chick is Lil’ Kim.
