“Playin' (feat. Aubrey Mikkel)” is the third single from by American hip-hop group 'Orion', marking a productive rise for the rap trio since signing to Tric-Jam Records in June 2020, they've delivered a single at a rate of one per month since their debut, with “Fuck Me Over” on June 24, 2020 peaking at number one in the singles chart, the follow up “Make America Breathe Again” continuing the groups rapid rise on July 25, 2020 peaking at number two and their latest single “Playin' (feat. Aubrey Mikkel)” set for release on August 30, 2020 shows a strong and consistent start for the trio that may be the quickest rise in the music industry in recent memory.
It's reported that the group are well over half-way through the recording of their debut album and that with each single release they've made so far, they've had a choice of a number of finished tracks to choose from, it was initially expected that their collabortion with Aubrey Mikkel would have been released as their second single, but the track wasn't quite finished in time, which led to the release of their political statement “Make America Breathe Again.” which was heavily praised for it's bravery and fearlessness so early on in their career's. Giving the group a sense of respect from artists and peers within the industry that have understood the fickle nature of the business and how one wrong comment or statement could see them fall out of favour with fans and critics alike. However, the single was a roaring success and continued a strong debut period for the artists.
In the lead up to the single, it was teased by the group that they'll be releasing their next single with a collaboration effort and they encouraged fans across social media to speculate who the featured artist was going to be or who they hoped it would be. It was also confirmed that the trio would be performing at the Fan Choice Awards on Sunday 30, August 2020 and the single was officially released in the aftermath of the show which included the first televised live performance from the group as well as debuting the new single at the awards ceremony, bringing Aubrey Mikkel out onstage to the surprise of the crowd in attendance and the audiences watching at home.
The track was written and composed by Orion with Aubrey providing her own lyrics to the track during her two verses in the song and was produced by Orion alongside DeAndre Patton. It was recorded at Studio 60 Recording Studios in West Hollywood, California in July 2020 and will be released as a CD Single, Digital Download, 7” Single and made available to Weekly Airplay on August 30, 2020 through Tric-Jam Records.
Performance;
ORION: LIVE FROM THE FCA VII
M&S BANK ARENA – Liverpool, England
August 23, 2020
As the previous song comes to an end, the music is immediately diverted to a more upbeat RnB sound as Bellows addresses the audience, “FCA's! Let's go fucking wild for Ms. Aubrey Mikkel!” and the crowd cheer as the singer saunters out on to the stage with a beaming smile, the reaction an extremely positive one for an artist that hasn't been seen in live performance or heard on record for quite some time, but she seems in her element as she walks to the center of the stage as the beat drops for this unheard collaboration with Bellows and Circuit moving towards the edges of the stage with Marina at the back hyping up the crowd, leaving Aubrey and Boa center stage as they play off of one another as Boa delivers the opening to the song, ”Aye, I know your name, I know your face/But I ain't seen you around all that much these days/Jammin' to your hits/It's nostalgic/Used to beat off to your pics/That shit was magic/Big booty, big titties/Now you in the studio makin' hits wit me/Vibin' on the jam, cause you know this ones the real deal/Can't hear a word you're sayin'/Thinkin' bout makin' a fine bitch squeal /Can't hear a word you're sayin'/Thinkin' bout eating your bomb pussy like a meal.” which see's Aubrey brush off the advances of Boa playfully.
As Boa makes his way to the edges of the stage alongside Bellows and continue to hype the crowd, Circuit finds his way center stage, again the two play off of one another, sharing extended eye contant and moving suggestively to the beat of the track as Circuit delivers his verse, ”Aye, I know your name, I know your face/You know, I like seeing that fine ass around this place/Got a high-rise on the strip tonight/How bout' we drop this verse and try a private rewrite/I got bottles, I got weed/Whole package, you got all the woman this boy need/Thinkin' bout makin' a fine bitch squeal/You got all the woman this boy need/Thinkin' bout eating your bomb pussy like a meal/You got all the woman this boy need.” which again see's Aubrey brush off the advances as Boa makes his way center stage once more and the pair stand either side of Aubrey, admiring all of her.
She looks at them both individually and gestures towards her own body to suggest that they take this all in as she begins her verse, ”Down boys, heel... bout to show you the real deal/Wrap your hands around my body boy/Let them roam around and just explore/The things we're doing tonight/You ain't never done before/My number one goal is to keep you wanting more/I'm flowing like an ocean, as I look in your eyes.” but it becomes clear that Boa and Circuit aren't where her interests lie as she gestures Marina over towards her from the back of the stage, she walks over to the center with Boa to her left and Circuit to her right, she places her left hand on Boa's shoulder and her right hand on Circuit's shoulder and pushes down until they drop to their knees, she begins thrusting and moving her hips as Aubrey moves towards the edge of the stage where Bellows remains.
Aubrey whispers in Bellows ear, he turns and they both look each other up and down as Aubrey and Marina deliver the brief chorus, ”Boy I ain't playin, got my eyes elsewhere/I hope he can forgive me/I can't help but stare/Boy I ain't playin, got my eyes elsewhere/I hope he can forgive me/I can't help but stare.” as Aubrey's body language makes it clear that Bellows is where her attention truly lies.
He delivers his verse with energy and passion, making it clear that his intentions lie in very much the same path, ”Nah, she more than just your playboy barbie/Dirty motel rooms and getting' naughty/High class Queen, hustlin' for her dream on the daily/Game respect game/Man, she fuckin' slay me/When she goes down, that shit should be illegal/She's relentless with that pussy when she grindin' down on me though/She got her own place/High-rise in New York City/She a boss bitch/But she got that class A kitty for me/She don't need the subs bench, back-up players/She want that first ballot hall of famer/Every time like a gym workout/Session booked can't leave until she cum for me now/There's somethin' special when Miss Independent screaming out your name/And she just begging you to leave it in/Yeah, I know I'm screwed because she fuckin' got me/Her pussy owns and she knows it/She can't stop me/Fuck, yeah, she's got me.”
He appears in his element with Aubrey playing his onstage foil, grinding against him and playing the part well amidst the emphatic RnB backdrop of the song, the chemistry is definitely there whether real or playing up to the audience and the song, but the look in both of their eyes seem to indicate a real spark or certainly lost at the very least as Aubrey flicks her hair, grabs Bellows hand and places it to her chest and brings it down to just below her stomach, she gives him a look before delivering the final verse of the song, ”I'll lay you down, and make you proud/Drive until I make that ooh ah sound/Next lets switch up and we'll start the next round/Go in deeper, baby deeper till you just can't go no more/Pull my hair, just do me some more/Right now baby, it's the you and me show/Tell me can you feel that orgasm number two/The only time I feel this way, is with you/I'm suppose to be a sweet bitch, but you take away my innocence/I only share these moments with you/So lets keep this our dirty little secret/I wanna make you say my name/Say its so good that you can't wait/When I'm done screaming your name/You'll say babe, lets do it again” and as the song finishes to the clash of pyro, Aubrey pulls Bellows closer to her by his chains and the pair passionately kiss.
”Playin'” (feat. Aubrey Mikkel)
{Boa Verse}
“Aye, I know your name, I know your face
But I ain't seen you around all that much these days
Jammin' to your hits
It's nostalgic
Used to beat off to your pics
That shit was magic
Big booty, big titties
Now you in the studio makin' hits wit me
Vibin' on the jam, cause you know this ones the real deal
Can't hear a word you're sayin'
Thinkin' bout makin' a fine bitch squeal
Can't hear a word you're sayin'
Thinkin' bout eating your bomb pussy like a meal
{Circuit Verse}
Aye, I know your name, I know your face
You know, I like seeing that fine ass around this place
Got a high-rise on the strip tonight
How bout' we drop this verse and try a private rewrite
I got bottles, I got weed
Whole package, you got all the woman this boy need
Thinkin' bout makin' a fine bitch squeal
You got all the woman this boy need
Thinkin' bout eating your bomb pussy like a meal
You got all the woman this boy need
{Aubrey Verse}
Down boys, heel... bout to show you the real deal
Wrap your hands around my body boy
Let them roam around and just explore
The things we're doing tonight
You ain't never done before
My number one goal is to keep you wanting more
I'm flowing like an ocean, as I look in your eyes
{Chorus}
Boy I ain't playin, got my eyes elsewhere
I hope he can forgive me
I can't help but stare
Boy I ain't playin, got my eyes elsewhere
I hope he can forgive me
I can't help but stare
{Bellows Verse}
Nah, she more than just your playboy barbie
Dirty motel rooms and getting' naughty
High class Queen, hustlin' for her dream on the daily
Game respect game
Man, she fuckin' slay me
When she goes down, that shit should be illegal
She's relentless with that pussy when she grindin' down on me though
She got her own place
High-rise in New York City
She a boss bitch
But she got that class A kitty
She don't need the subs bench, back-up players
She want that first ballot hall of famer
Every time like a gym workout
Session booked can't leave until she cum for me now
There's somethin' special when Miss Independent screaming out your name
And she just begging you to leave it in
Yeah, I know I'm screwed because she fuckin' got me
Her pussy owns and she knows it
She can't stop me
Fuck, yeah, she's got me
{Aubrey Verse}
I'll lay you down, and make you proud
Drive until I make that ooh ah sound
Next lets switch up and we'll start the next round
Go in deeper, baby deeper till you just can't go no more
Pull my hair, just do me some more
Right now baby, it's the you and me show
Tell me can you feel that orgasm number two
The only time I feel this way, is with you
I'm suppose to be a sweet bitch, but you take away my innocence
I only share these moments with you
So lets keep this our dirty little secret
I wanna make you say my name
Say its so good that you can't wait
When I'm done screaming your name
You'll say babe, lets do it again”
