Petey Pablo’s New Panther Anthem

Carolina, you can take your shirt off again.

First, a music flashback. Who remembers this one?

Your dreams and open letters have been answered. After a brief stint in jail for bringing a gun to RDU airport on his way to the MTV Video Music Awards, Petey Pablo (Moses Mortimer Barrett III) is back. This time it’s a Panther anthem. The video for the track was posted on Youtube yesterday. At the time of this posting it only has 123 views. I have no idea how this didn’t blow up instantly. It’s certainly a bit more polished than this rap, which has over 123,000 views. And according to a tweet from Johnathan Stewart Timbaland may have produced “Carolina Colors.”

Alright. Enough hype. Here it is. And yea. It’s good. Really good.

Bonus memory. About 15 years ago, my girlfriend’s aunt was approached by a young man in a Waffle House. He handed her a CD (remember those?). The young man was Petey himself. And the homemade demo featured the track “Raise Up.”
