selection gets its own moment in the CRUSH catalog spotlight

Every group has somebody who takes control of the music.

They connect the phone. They skip through the first few suggestions. Then they find a record and turn around to see whether everybody else is feeling it.

That’s the moment to introduce “Bops Like Mike.”

The Plug Not A Rapper record featuring PartyPlugMikey appears on F.R.1.E.N.D. Z.8.N.E., giving listeners who know the newer CRUSH releases a reason to revisit another project in the catalog.

A NAME THAT BELONGS IN THE CONVERSATION

“Bops Like Mike” gives the listener a phrase to remember. It puts Mikey’s name right in the title and invites a question every music fan can answer for themselves:

Does this belong in the rotation?

Play the song while the group gets ready. Send it to the friend who always has a playlist. Add it to the drive over and see who asks for the link.

Then let the full F.R.1.E.N.D. Z.8.N.E. project continue.

KEEP LISTENING: “WEATHER MACHINE”

“Bops Like Mike” isn’t the only place to enter the album. “Weather Machine,” also featuring PartyPlugMikey, gives listeners another direct selection from the same project.

Play both records and compare the experience. Which one goes into the pre-game? Which one do you send to somebody who’s never heard Plug Not A Rapper?
