Underground hip-hop artist Andy Pop dropped his newest single, “Butterflies” produced by Nico Marchese, on March 9 via his Facebook and Twitter pages . The song melts girls’ hearts as Pop describes the feelings he’s overcome with the sight of his crush.
The intro is made up of Alicia Keys’ soulful vocals and elegant piano sampled from her album, “Songs in A Minor.”
“It’s about this one particular girl who’s like wow and just makes you feel nervous,” Pop said explaining how he was inspired to write the song. It was directed towards making his female fans feel special and at the same time relatable song to his male fans.
Andy Pop grew up in Goshen, N.Y., and has been rapping since he was 16. He is a sophomore arts management major here at Purchase. Pop made his first mix-tape, “Hold On I’m Comin’” in the summer of 2009 before his freshman year and his second mix-tape, “Ransom” in spring of 2010.
