Teaming up with partner Halo (via Chicago) in their new home of San Diego, their new friends at Soma in Glasgow, label giant Hooj Choons, and even for the East coast legends at Yoshitoshi. As a result, they drew the attention of the world to the self-contained music industry of the West coast.
The next phase of his skyrocketing career saw him able to take his sound to the world in the form of his legendary DJ sets. Playing slots at Fabric London, Turbo Toronto, Zouks Singapore, Soma Glasgow, Twilo New York, More Amsterdam Pacha Buenos Aires, and Allenby Tel-Aviv turned the heads of the clubbers who thought they had seen and heard it all. His sets at raves in New Zealand, Montreal, Turkey, Croatia, Spain, Brazil and all over the United Stateshave reintroduced the concept that prime-time doesn't mean prime-speeds and has the ravers listening for a change.
Even though one might wonder when he finds the time, Hipp-e has continued to push himself in the studio, developing a sound that belongs solely to him. His solo production for labels like NRK, Soma, Product Deluxe, and Tango has garnered instant reaction from international DJ's and has those more negative individuals that predicted some sort of Hipp-e / Halo backlash quickly zipping their lips. In addition to building his studio knowledge, Hipp-e is venturing into more unknown territory. As A&R for San Francisco based Tango Recordings , he is able to take his knack for finding amazing records to play out and apply it to finding upcoming producers from around the world who will help to shape the future of dance music. With a DJ schedule that shows no signs of slowing down, and a resume that already puts him at the top of his field, and an ever growing potential in the studio, Hipp-e will continue to realize his dreams and inspire the rest of the industry.
After the huge success of the "Environments" album, a concept that he and Halo worked on together with live musicians and represents the fusion of styles that has become their trademark, the boys now feel it is time to move on with their careers. They have amicably agreed to go their separate ways, with Hipp-e representing the H-Foundation moniker, and each of them DJing as solo artists.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Came with the gang it ain't nobody realer
Nonstop turn up, We bouta turn up
Do my dance two step Mike Jack call it thriller
Nothing you ever could tell me will bring me down
Nothing you ever could tell me will bring me down
And I'm still reppin' the four
It's drop top whips when we pullin' up fasho
I know we sittin' on the top but we gone level up so more
Yeah
They Said I wouldn't do it so I might as well
I know odds stacked us against us but we gone prevail
Know they don't wanna see us win but I still wish em well
I got the lord by my side so I could never fail
Dior Suavage on my body know you know the smell
Got the gang sliding with me they won't never tell
You know I'm finna swerve the lanes if we in jam
Thankful for the ones I got Its praise to the man

We gone hit a milly don't forget the plan
Thankful for times of less it made me who I am
I ain't talking bout no food momma need the Lamb
They think I'm Kendrick with this motion, got em sayin' "damn"

Cause when I told a loss I just bounced right back
Now I'm coming for it all like a federal tax

If you talking down don't need you round need you stay back
Negative energy can't be me cause I can't lack

He's my lighting in the dark I gotta stay with him
If I ever get lost, no matter the cost
He gon make a way to find me, I can't play with him
Let's do something we ain't used to
Out the box I'm tired of what's usual
Hope the feelings mutual

Say it like it is hope you don't think I'm too demanding
