Calvin Valentine – “KSSâ€
September 5, 2018
As was the case with “Vhs” Calvin has a story behind the music. Here’s the story behind “KSS” (off the forthcoming “Keep Summer Safe” project due out in a bit over a week).
I wrote “KSS” on January 1st 2018. I had the flu and was feeling down and out physically. But my spirits were high cause I had seen my two favorites John Mayer and Dave Chappelle perform at The Forum for New Year’s also just ate some ganja food. I forced myself to go in the studio cause I always want to make something the 1st day of the new year. I ended up making the beat out of a song my girlfriend (Danielle) had made. Once the beat was together the hook just popped into my head. It took all my energy to record it but I kept those recordings for the final version cause you can feel the emotions in those takes. The song is my ‘MJ Flu Game.’

Calvin Valentine – “Vhs” feat. Illa J

Nice ‘creative process’ maaaan (ha)! Calvin knows you’re gonna dig this. So dig into it already!
I wrote “Vhs” at my dad’s house after he broke out all the old home movies. We sat on his porch smoking purple trinity and reminiscing on old times. The song is the soundtrack to my childhood. I had recorded the hook but it just wasn’t exactly how I wanted it. So I had my dude Illa J come through and he killed it.
