Devils Below (NDC)

Female-led old-school late-70s Bronx party rap mixed with simultaneous operatic vocals and dramatic choir responses, Constant interaction between playful MC rap and huge theatrical opera hooks happening at the same time throughout the song, Simple rhythmic rhymes, chant choruses, crowd shouts, overlapping rap and opera vocals, call-and-response energy, disco-funk groove, funky bass guitar, handclaps, live drums and loud party crowds, Powerful male opera vocals with wild vibrato, giant melodic hooks and layered choir vocals constantly answering and interrupting the rap vocals, Smoky clubs, FM radio sound, cheap microphones, tape hiss, loose live-band feeling, raw live energy, catchy repetitive hooks, Warm analog tape sound, dry drums, narrow stereo mix, slightly dirty recording, Sounds recorded and produced in 1979-1982, NOT modern trap, NOT polished pop production, NOT cinematic orchestra, NOT emotional AI-poetry

[Intro] Say hoooo! Say yeah yeah! Everybody moving when the record plays Hot summer night and the streets all blaze Say hoooo! Say yeah yeah! Say Heaven Heaven Heaven and hell! [Verse] Girls in satin dancing side by side Big black speakers and a funky ride Preacher yelling from the liquor store Nobody listening anymore Whiskey bottles underneath the chair Cheap cigars floating through the air DJ shouting through a broken mic Everybody rocking wall to wall tonight [Chorus] Heaven and hell! Heaven and hell! Angels upstairs! Devils below! Heaven and hell! Heaven and hell! Everybody screaming! Lose control! [Verse] Cadillac parked by the corner sign Gold chain shining and the girls look fine Taxi driver yelling move that van Whole block jumping to the party jam Smoke and sweat underneath the lights Some crazy fool screaming all night Mama said stay back home instead But the bass drum pounding inside my head [Bridge] Rock the house! Rock the street! Move your body to the crazy beat! Rock the house! Rock the floor! Everybody screaming more more more! [Chorus] Heaven and hell! Heaven and hell! Angels upstairs! Devils below! Heaven and hell! Heaven and hell! Everybody screaming! Lose control! [Verse] Somebody laughing by the backroom door One more drink and they all want more Church bell ringing somewhere downtown But nobody slowing the party down [Chorus] Heaven and hell! Heaven and hell! Angels upstairs! Devils below! Heaven and hell! Heaven and hell! Everybody screaming! Lose control! [Outro] Saturday people! Crazy night! Heaven! Heaven! Heaven
