about
While the flute has recently made a resurgence in Hip Hop, Toronto based flautist Jef Kearns has been marrying the two since the age of 10 when he played along with late night radio broadcasts out of Detroit.
Jef set the goal to have the instrument seen as one which deserved the spotlight in the genre and over the years has attained his goal by ascending to center stage on the R&B, Hip Hop, and Soul Jazz scenes.
Jef Kearns has teamed up with Toronto poet and songwriter “META” for his latest single “The Ultimate.” A jazzy Old Skool Hip Hop sound with a modern edge, laden with clever pop culture references, the song details the Ultimate classy night out on the town set to music so upbeat and infectious you’ll feel like you’re “Hot Steppin'” to the weekend every day.

lyrics
Awake in plush linen, silk to the touch livin'
Chill in 600 thread count sheets pure Egyptian
Day Break's slipping about sunset start trippin,
Boateng Boutique, chic juice and ginnin',
Ready for that late night creep like nocturnal,
Only on the dance floor disco inferno
Step to Love quick with a hello and a smile
Though rep the grown women no R. Kelly style,
The gang wanna roll tonight right I'm so game
Hot shower flow through my cold veins like propane
Straight Henny grow out my chest hair like Rogaine,
Pregame ritual sip till there's no pain,
Pick the brains of your city's mixologists,
Bourbon whiskey cocktails lime garnishes,
Mixing gins and tonics with less water in it,
Free pour in my glass there's no bottom to it...
Hook: Hitting every hot spot leaving big tips, Dressing up slick,
Tonight we're like the Ultimate,
L.A. London Japan and my Tdot clique
Champagne gets sipped tonight we're like The Ultimate...
Hitting every hot spot leaving big tips, Dressing up slick,
Tonight we're like the Ultimate,
New York Paris Milan and my Tdot clique
Champagne gets sipped tonight we're like The Ultimate...
When the party start rocking, that's when my crew walk in,
I'm christened with charisma like Black Christopher Walken,
That means I'm interesting my aura shine bright
Interview with the Vampire life Twilight
Plan a night before I step off the plane like Bourdain,
Layover all day Parts Unknown I play,
Got nothing to gain when staying in your lane
So i push against the grain like there's whiskey on my brain
Guess I'm lame cause I don't wear a 100 K chain,
My first class plane's on the way to Marseille,
They stay on material gains I'd rather play
Laugh today with new experience and Cherish the Day,
Play Sade on the ipod Elements of Life God
Bumming on a beach living the opposite of "life's hard",
An indie non-starving artist with a project called life,
Experience is priceless as a product right?...
Hook: Hitting every hot spot leaving big tips, Dressing up slick,
Tonight we're like the Ultimate,
L.A. London Japan and my Tdot clique
Champagne gets sipped tonight we're like The Ultimate...
Hitting every hot spot leaving big tips, Dressing up slick,
Tonight we're like the Ultimate,
New York Paris Milan and my Tdot clique
Champagne gets sipped tonight we're like The Ultimate...
Hell up in Harlem Renaissance throwback
Cotton club zoot suit update stay on track
21st century Black excellence, meant to be
Elegant excelling past traps of penitentiarys
Cool Intelligentsia, we design the structures
Vultures pick away at dead ideas and call it culture,
L'enfant terrible with crime fiction parables
The web make it shareable instead you're unbearable,
Hashtag achieve it success best believe it
Watch The Secret conceive it and you can be it if you see it
With your 3rd eye, Word I spit that metaphysics,
Flip it like real estate mental state stay terrific,
This ones for the doormen that don't give us trouble,
The bartenders who free pour all their doubles,
The dj's who spin this song to show love
and the ladies looking their best that have us in the club...
Hook: Hitting every hot spot leaving big tips, Dressing up slick,
Tonight we're like the Ultimate,
Capetown Lagos Kampala all my African clique
Champagne gets sipped tonight we're like The Ultimate...
Hitting every hot spot leaving big tips, Dressing up slick,
Tonight we're like the Ultimate,
Nassau Montego Bay all my Caribbean clique
Champagne gets sipped tonight we're like The Ultimate...
