“She’s Nuts” is Wylde Bunch’s newest video starring internet video star Liam Sullivan of “Kelly’s Shoes” and “Muffins.” Sullivan’s work has been virally circulated on the internet becoming popular on YouTube with over 19 million hits. “She’s Nuts” tells the story of a girlfriend who is Nuts for the oblivious, push-over boyfriend played by Liam.
“Ain’t No Love in the Club” is the lead single off their upcoming album Abuse Thys Substance, which finds Wylde Bunch at the top of their game. This joint is already bringing heat to the dance floor as an instant club anthem with a slick new video ready for airplay. Produced by hit-making team The Pharmacy (Crazy Town, Plain White T’s), this song rides a heavy beat with clever hooks, beautiful bridges, and humorous lyrics. DJ AM has been heavily rinsing the track in his club sets and says, “This is a true banger…just peep the production.”
For Wylde Bunch, Abuse Thys Substance, out on Surfdog Records in early 2008, is a more ambitious and polished sound than ever before by a 10-piece band whose live shows take their music to even higher heights. The musical offspring of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sly Stone, Wylde Bunch have created an undeniable niche with their explosive sound and fearless genre mixing. To say the rock and hip-hop influenced alternative pop group Wylde Bunch blazes trails is an understatement. Comprised of family members and long-time friends, the South Central Los Angeles natives have pioneered a sound, infusing elements of rock, funk, and hip-hop music into an incredible pop sound. If there is perhaps a misperception by some that live bands aren’t a part of hip-hop and club music, Wylde Bunch is seeing to it that that myth is destroyed.
Raised in a neighborhood racked with social ills and the complexities of a relentless gang culture, the boys rarely went to parties. Instead, nighttime activity revolved around the band as they found sanctuary during jam sessions at the family home of singer/producer, Dame. Consequently, the frequent private performances began to produce some mind-blowing results leading to their critically acclaimed major label debut CD Wylde Times at Washington High on Sony. The group, known for their practical jokes and enough charisma to fill the Staples Center, has made a point to give back to the community by teaching music at schools lacking in funds in hopes to convey the power of music as a means to avoid the violence.
Their story and journey was even big enough to land a spot on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” featuring Wylde Bunch member Dame. They have since been a part of a series of tours, television appearances, major collaborations and features with music placements in movies, TV shows, video games, etc. (see attached).

Wylde Bunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Contrary to popular belief that's not why I tryna pay you
Focus see here don′t let this biz make you cold hearted
Too late dawg I feel the darkness comin so it started
Bent in depleted and friends getting deleted
There never been's there never was music to see
Let me talk about it, get some thing up offa my chest
How many times have I helped someone without feelin regrets?
To never be the one to get caught out there again
Always tryna look out, I shoulda just looked out for me
And I wouldn't feel so pissed and empty
Cats flipped the script, hell they wrote me out
Emotions is running high cuz it′s choking me out
And I don′t know what to do cuz now it's taken over me
I just wish that every now and then somebody thought of me
Because
You said you′d always be around but you're nowhere to be found
When the situation is getting harder
You said you′d always be around but you're nowhere to be found
When the situation is getting harder
Whoops... Constant struggles
Lookin, always wanna be around, make you bubble
But when it′s all said and done they don't even know you
Just put the point behind your back
You're falling in his game
And don′t look back at these lame ass niggas
These break you down wit us
These I just wanna be around when you gotta hit bigger
I just wanna be around when you playin wit 8 figures
Man I wanted your grind when I was aight now grinds here
But where you at!?
You said you′d always be around but you're nowhere to be found
When the situation is getting harder
You said you′d always be around but you're nowhere to be found
When the situation is getting harder
These coast folks stay close like "Whaddya know?"
I spit flows got dough rock every show
Now they hanging out and walkin out and way outta turn
They not familiar oh
They not similar no
They all up in my breathing space
I got 13 down ya don′t need to see your face
With the this way dude karate I can't be replaced
And these tickets out my back before my pockets was laced
GIT OUTTA HERE!
You said you′d always be around but you're nowhere to be found
When the situation is getting harder
You said you'd always be around but you′re nowhere to be found
When the situation is getting harder

The lyrics convey a sense of power and strength as the singer asserts their worth and refuses to be taken advantage of. The song culminates in a defiant declaration to push away those who are not genuine and to prioritize self-respect and boundary-setting. Overall, "Harder" by Wylde Bunch captures the complexities of human relationships, the pain of betrayal, and the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Loyalty and betrayal guess I'm tryna play you
Trying to balance loyalty and betrayal in relationships
Contrary to popular belief that's not why I tryna pay you
Not motivated by common perceptions, just trying to show appreciation
Focus see here don't let this biz make you cold hearted
Reminding to stay focused and not become emotionally detached in the music industry
Too late dawg I feel the darkness comin so it started
Already feeling negativity creeping in and affecting relationships
Bent in depleted and friends getting deleted
Feeling isolated and losing friends along the way
There never been's there never was music to see
Realizing there is no true loyalty in the music industry
Let me talk about it, get some thing up offa my chest
Expressing thoughts and emotions to release burden
How many times have I helped someone without feelin regrets?
Reflecting on past actions and questioning intentions
Well I can count it on one hand because of their sour plans
Limited instances of genuine help due to others' ulterior motives
To never be the one to get caught out there again
Avoiding being taken advantage of in the future
Always tryna look out, I shoulda just looked out for me
Realizing the importance of self-care and protection
And I wouldn't feel so pissed and empty
Acknowledging feelings of anger and emptiness
Cats flipped the script, hell they wrote me out
Friends betraying and turning against the singer
Emotions is running high cuz it's choking me out
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by emotions
And I don't know what to do cuz now it's taken over me
Struggling with a loss of control and clarity
I just wish that every now and then somebody thought of me
Longing for genuine care and consideration from others
Whoops... Constant struggles
Acknowledging ongoing challenges and difficulties
Lookin, always wanna be around, make you bubble
Seeking genuine companionship and support
But when it's all said and done they don't even know you
Realizing that some friends are not truly invested in knowing the singer
Just put the point behind your back
Being stabbed in the back by those trusted
You're falling in his game
Getting caught up in manipulative behavior
And don't look back at these lame ass niggas
Advising to move forward and not dwell on toxic relationships
These break you down wit us
Certain people who bring negativity and harm
They not familiar oh
Unrecognizable as genuine friends
They all up in my breathing space
Feeling invaded and suffocated by unwelcome presence
I got 13 down ya don't need to see your face
Resentful of fake people who are not worth seeing
GIT OUTTA HERE!
Commanding those who bring negativity to leave
