‘Get Up (Rattle’) tells the story of a group of friends who are intent on partying for as long as they can physically stay on their feet. It’s six in the morning, and they are still going strong. (They’ll pay for it in later life.)

‘Yo, this house party is crazy, my crew is hella wavy. Yo, flip the cut, then say what’s up, then slide out with your lady. No ifs or buts about it, my style is technotronic. Got grips and models, so spin the bottle, girl I’m just getting started.’
