Brimming with boundless energy and an great ear for hooks, P-Lo is capable of turning a routine trip to the DMV into an occasion to get lit. Kicking it with crash test dummies and speeding during his driving test, P-Lo shows off his effortless charm in “Put Me On Somethin’,” his latest video. Produced with bounce by P-Lo himself, the Filipino-American rapper recruits E-40, the Counselor, to spit a typically witty verse: “Stop babysitting, pass it/My Fetti stretch like elastic/Yeah bro, I gotta have it/Born to trap–survival tactics.” Premiered by XXL, “Put Me On Somethin'” is a highlight from More Than Anything, P-Lo’s upcoming project. The follow up to 2016’s Before Anything, More Than Anything releases on May 12th.
“This video is inspired by going to the DMV and being bored completely out of your mind. It represents a lot of double meanings,” P-Lo explained to XXL. “E-40 teaching me the game, but is also my driving instructor. The first driving instructor, he wasn’t liking me based on my appearance and energy, not knowing I was well-equipped to drive, but that’s a lot of people’s first impressions of me—just because you look a certain way, judging a book by a cover… The song itself is a real statement song. When Bay Area gives so much style and culture to the game and people ignore or disregard it. We’re always putting people onto game. The game needs to give back also. They need me put me on something. I can’t keep putting you on, y’all gotta give me something too.”
