Beck Hansen (born Bek David Campbell, July 8, 1970) is an American musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, known by the stage name Beck.
The four-time platinum artist rose to underground popularity with his early works, which combined social criticism (as in "MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack" and "Deep Fried Love") with musical and lyrical experimentation. He first earned wider public attention for his breakthrough single "Loser", a 1994 hit. Beck is known for creating musical collages of different styles.
Two of Beck's most popular and acclaimed recordings are Odelay (1996) and Sea Change (2002).Odelay was awarded Album of the Year by the American magazine Rolling Stone and by UK publications NME and Mojo. Odelay also received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year. Both Odelay and Sea Change appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Beck was born in Los Angeles, California, to David Campbell, a Canadian musician, and Bibbe Hansen, a visual artist and former Warhol "star". His father is of Scottish heritage and his mother is half Norwegian, a quarter Jewish and a quarter Swedish. His maternal grandfather is Al Hansen, a visual collage artist of the Fluxus school of art. Beck's paternal grandfather was a Presbyterian minister. When his parents separated, Beck stayed with his mother and brother in Los Angeles, where he was influenced by the city's diverse musical offerings—everything from hip hop to Latin music and his mother's art scene—all of which would later reappear in his recorded and published work.
The Chemical Brothers are a British electronic music duo composed of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons. Originating in Manchester in 1991, along with The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method, and fellow acts, they were pioneers at bringing the big beat genre to the forefront of pop culture.
Ed Simons was born in Herne Hill, South London on 9 June 1970 to a barrister mother and a father who was not around much when Simons was growing up. Simons' two main interests when he was young were aeroplanes and musicals. Simons attended two South London public schools, Alleyn's School and Dulwich College. During his school years, he developed a fondness for rare groove and Hip hop music, having frequented a club called The Mud Club from the age of 14. By the time he left school, his two main musical interests were two Manchester bands, New Order and The Smiths. After finishing school with 11 O levels and three A-levels, he continued on to study history, especially late medieval history, at the University of Manchester.[citation needed]

Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
(Lil KeKe)
I'm a shine in grey, ball n' parlay
Got skills to pay the bills is all I display, by the way
I been showin up since nine-tre today
They still got somethin to say
But it's okay, true to the game about my fifty
I'm a sew this thang up if the rap game let me
It's me keepin 'em blind they can't see, Young G
But you can call me Don KeKe
Nothin's free, I stay on the grind and get mine
Flossin at all times went from grind to grind
Two times to the mind cause I'm one of a kind
Whether sunny or grey, there's only one way to shine
I'm a pour up drank, roll up dank, stay on the grind
Slow up bank, hold up man
Me, Big Pokey, 3-2, we stay on a mission
H-Town for life representin the commision
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
(Mr. 3-2)
Now we gon ball in the mix, U-haul bricks
Across state lines, but loose lips sank ships
I'm all about makin chips, takin trips, that's my thesis
Me and some jazzy broads parlayin on nude beaches
My piece is iced out, diamonds hit you in the face
Leanin and codienin off of a speed chase
A pint and a two-liter, with nine millimeter
To get you up off me I'm a squash you like a mosquito
Take a breather and lay back on my head rest
Sittin in the turnin lane and I feel a little plex
And animosity, but I don't bar what you say
We bold up and showed up I aint got time to conversate
Business is looking great I ball every day of the year
Keepin these funny bunny busters out my atmosphere
Mr. 3-2, Big Pokey, and Lil KeKe
Gon parlay, sunny or grey, and ball in these streets
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
When it's sunny or grey, we gon parlay n' ball
Turn up the pint bottle till we lean and fall
Wall to wall with this ballin shit
Popped up top and factory paint with kicks
Plus my screens lit
Broads on the sidelines, gettin they peep on
Snatch one, get a room and get your freak on
Smile trick, you on Candid Camera
I hit these bops, see if he got some baller's stamina
Hit close to ball, plus it's easy to fall
Tryin to knock down the mall, you better slow down and crawl
Before you walk, nigga
Slang a little mo chalk, nigga
Mash till you get paid and overload the vault, nigga
No doubt, we off the heezy, G
360 degrees and that's Parcheesi
See, we ain't playin, vato, we out parlayin
It's goin down in H-Town, that's all a nigga sayin
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
Whether sunny or grey, we gon ball n' parlay
Pour a drank and smoke hay, we gon ball n' parlay
Parlay, pa-a-arlay, yeah
Parlay, parlay, parlay
Parlay, ball n' parlay
Parlay, parlay
Sunny or grey
It's gonna be okay, hey
Ball n' parlay
