100% by Atom Smith
Having consolidated his place at the top table of #electroswing producers, ATOM SMITH here drops the penultimate from his album Playing with Fire. 100% is a pure FUNK nugget.
With his trademark Hollywood big band brass section letting rip with solos over a killer groove, the track features a vocoder vocal by Atom himself preaching words of karmic LA wisdom. "If it ain't 100% real, then it's 100% fake." Indeed. A brilliantly solid crossover record, with political topicality, 100% worthy of support.

Lyrics
Didn't pay for the sizzle
Then you didn't get the steak
If it don't wiggle
Then it ain't gonna shake
If you got a minute
Then you got what it takes
Ain't 100% real
Then it's 100% fake
Blind em with a smile
Bust em with a move
Get with the rhythm
Get with the groove
Don't matter what you boil
Don't matter what you bake
Ain't 100% real
Then it's 100% fake
Put it on a saucer
Put it on a plate
Pour in a cup
But don't hesitate
Kill em with the kindness
Sweep em up with a rake
Ain't 100% real, then
It's 100% fake
If you're coming to the party
But you ain't gonna dance
Nobody gonna say
There go Dangerpants
Nothing cooking in the kitchen
Nothing rising but the cake
Ain't 100% real
Then it's 100% fake
