Mixerr Album Reviews #1,656

Lil Benny & The Masters ‎– Gett Your Drink On (Gett Your Freak On) is a long forgotten go-go soul single from the mid to late 90s which is a classic to its own right. Lil Benny & The Masters are icons in the history of go-go and this single can attest to that statement.

Gett Your Drink On (Gett Your Freak On) is a fresh upbeat go-go song with such fresh new energy and uses a new style of go-go. Although Gett Your Drink On (Gett Your Freak On) is similar to the classic early 80s go-go sound. This song spawned off a single which created an underground buzz in the DMV area specifically in the state of Maryland. The song was play on radio stations in that area. Lil Benny goes back to the basics on Gett Your Drink On (Gett Your Freak On).

I Never Seen A Man Cry is a go-go soul cover of Scarface - I Never Seen A Man Cry. Lil Benny raps on this song. Luther frequently uses melodic riffs here. Bellow-Meso-Bardo is a go-go rendition of Chuck Brown’s Bellow-Meso-Bardo. The song has a mellow yet upbeat vibe.

I rate this single, Gett Your Drink On (Gett Your Freak On), 4/5****!
