"Money Studies was recently given access to the vault of a true Baltimore club king, and we emerged with our pockets crammed and enough hand-picked gems to form the sixth installment in the Money Lotion series. Rod Lee needs no introduction to fans of the mid-Atlantic sound, but even the most diehard of Orioles will be seeing most of these tracks on wax for the first time. Let's start from the start. 'Kim's Theme' is about as quintessential Lee as they come without having the man's own voice over the top. Rod chops up Lil Kim's famous opening line from the 'Quiet Storm' remix -- 'hot damn ho, here we go again!' -- with sinister piano and stuttering bass riding underneath. This track has been out of print for years, and we're happy to bring you its very first reissue. 'Family' is another classic, a party favorite with cheese to spare as Rod puts the Bmore boots to Sister Sledge's anthem, 'We Are Family.' Rounding out the A-side's big trifecta is 'Mamma Say,' Rod's MJ-sampling track that's been a club staple for years. New track 'Put Your Hands Up' sets off the B-side with wild drum programming techniques and triggered shouting vocals, followed by the classic instrumental 'Sonic Drop,' where the man gets into some Bambaataa business. Mr. Lee closes things out with a bang, curiously repping both 'Cotton Eyed Joe' and all corners of the continental U.S. on the brand new track, 'Where You Come From' -- gotta hear it to understand."
