I.E. (aka Margot Padilla) has been helping audiences lose their inhibitions… Read Full Bio ↴I.E. (aka Margot Padilla) has been helping audiences lose their inhibitions for nearly a decade now. Emerging out of the same LA “Ravesploitation" scene that gave us Captain Ahab, I.E.’s music exists somewhere between bedroom K-Pop star, chola rave queen with a computer programming job, and outcast from the mall punk scene. Regardless of how you describe her music, Margot has always been intent on bringing the fun to everyone. So while a great deal of her shows happen at LA mainstay The Smell, some of her most memorable shows have happened at places like a farm with goats in the audience and even at Hot Topic (where she pretty quickly got kicked off stage). While her music focuses on dancefloor ready with heavy nods to wide-appeal, Margot uses this platform to reach people with a very unique sociopolitical voice. Young, poor, Latinas, rarely have representation in music, but through I.E. they do. Margot has a knack for communicating some pretty dark truths about her own life in a manner that is really fun without sacrificing how serious she is.

Despite bringing joy to audiences for so many years now, ‘Most Importantly’ is I.E.’s first formal full length album. Long overdue. Produced in collaboration with Jonathan Snipes (clipping. / ex-Captain Ahab) and mastered by Thomas Dimuzio, this is I.E. refined to perfection.

Stay out the way and I out that on babe
Back on the north where the lake be

Overall Meaning

In the song "Put On," I.E. talks about his life on the North side where the lake is and how he likes staying out of trouble. He describes himself as a sinner that cannot be saved and talks about how he used to daydream about cars and racing when he was younger. He also touches on fake friends who claim to have made him and a girl who played him. Despite his challenges, he can't believe he made it past the age of 18, and he now wears Bape but is not an ape. He emphasizes that he is not in the business of falling out with people and has made a lot of money from his check in the streets. He also mentions being less worried after leaving a girl alone and not being able to chase after women because he has no breath left.

One of the themes of the song is the idea of staying out of harm's way and avoiding problems. I.E. talks about how he prefers to stay out of trouble and work hard for his money instead of creating problems. He also emphasizes that people around him who cause trouble are not his friends, and he wants to maintain his positive relationships.

Another theme of the song is the artist's pursuit of a better life. He dreams of having more money, owning foreign cars, and living a luxurious life. He also talks about hustling and working hard to achieve success in his music career.

Así somos los mejores, evitamos exponernos para no convertirnos en Britney Spears o las Kardashian para seguir siendo nosotros y disfrutar de nuestro éxito con la calma que merece, Sin prisas... en el colectivo todos sabemos lo que valemos y a donde nos dirigimos, la fama corrompe hasta el alma más noble.
