The 25 year-old rapper-cum-entrepreneur is best known as the front man of The Team, a locally-successful rap group that lit up switchboards with their major radio hit in 2004 “It’s Gettin’ Hot.” Musical talent aside, he is also the mastermind of the nation’s fastest-growing energy drink, Hyphy Juice, and Partner of Moe Doe Records. Success at such a young age fared no small coincidence, as Carson set out to prove early on in his career that he was not content with being just an artist.

“My main goal was to make music with an Oakland element to it, but on a national level,” Carson explains about his objective in the music industry. Raised in the era of Mob Music in the Bay Area, he pioneered the resurgence of party music in a time when content was all about violence. With a combination of uncanny timing and relentless work ethic, Carson became one of the biggest purveyors of the Bay Area’s Hyphy Movement that brought his hometown back into the spotlight after nearly a decade of neglect from national attention.

Nah, an I know
What to say to get ya hands up

In the middle of the dance floor
Now everybody let your hands go

Don't hold back mama move

So easy and so smooth
(Smooth)
We can get loose just
Put down ya drinks so we can 2 step

Hit the Club with my stunner's on
Baby I came to party, who you rubbin on?
Rock with me in the comfort zone
You know that 1, 2 step
With the left, right with the rhythm, go

Ya move like ya want it with me
Whether poppin' bottles with boys in the V.I.P.
Throwin shots with patron curkle
With the P.Y.T.'S
Know they perfect, but I ain't search en
You should know my speed

I got the badess in the spot, with a pimp
He pop rockin' like a dimp with a limp
You know da 2 step cooler got a drink take a sip
An you can snap your fingas, why ya movin' to dis

Rockin' like grown folks from the old school
Clock wasin' and an old dew

Dancing like grown-ups from the old days

Watching the time go by, and drinking Mountain Dew

But I heard I taste good like so food
But I heard I am irresistibly delicious like soul food

I came to the club to drink and party

All the club filled up with women for get day creep on
The club is full of women for me to hit on

Wonder how many I can fill up into da suite room
I wonder how many ladies I can take to my suite

Take the handcuff off ya girl she be with me, go
Release your girl from being chained to you, let her come with me

Ah yeah
Alright

Going out and smoking some weed

Tell the DJ to go find some good music

Put them records out

To make everyone happy and excited

You know dat, you know dat

You know that look when you siked
You know that excited look on your face

Ready for this kit cause it's been a long time
Get ready for this party because it has been a while

Since I started dancing with everybody

Go the hole crowed steppin' like Kelly so come
Everybody is dancing like R. Kelly, so come dance with us

We got um jumpin' in the club
We have everyone dancing in the club

But we ain't gotta be done
But the party does not have to end yet

Just 2 step
Just dance the 2 step
