Game's "It's Okay (One Blood)" the Summer Anthem of 2006 at XXLMag.com
The results are in. You voted The Game's "It's Okay (One Blood)" as the summer anthem of 2006. On the last day of the season, we caught up with Black Wall Street's own DJ Skee to find out what all the hype was about.
When we decided to give XXLMAG.COM's readers the chance to choose the 2006 anthem of the summer, we expected the winner to be one of the year's Southern smashes, from "It's Goin' Down" to "Shoulder Lean." But no, the rest of the country can keep snapping their fingers, 'cause The Game ain't going away. The Compton MC's street single "It's Okay (One Blood)" won by a landslide, capturing 39% of the total vote. The next closest was Young Dro's "Shoulder Lean," with 16%.
The overwhelming response to "One Blood," seemed to surprise some of you, eliciting comments like, "Didn't that just come out last week?" But since the song first leaked in late July, it has been steadily rising from mixtapes to pop radio. To celebrate the song's victory, we caught up with Black Wall Street's man behind the music, DJ Skee, who let us in on the secrets behind the song's success. Skee is currently putting the finishing touches on the new Game mixtape, which is expected to drop in October just before Doctor's Advocate. They're also working on a remix to "One Blood," which is expected to unite some elite MCs from across the country
