Rubber Band

Recorded in Philadelphia by The Trammps during sessions for The Legendary Zing Album with members of MFSB providing instrumental backing. The track was created under the direction of the Baker-Harris-Young production team that helped define the Philadelphia soul sound. The song was a standout album cut that showcased the group's blend of soul, funk and emerging disco styles. Although not among the band's biggest chart hits, it became a favorite among DJs and collectors for its memorable arrangement and groove. The track achieved lasting recognition through extensive sampling, most notably providing the foundation for 'Hate It or Love It' by The Game featuring 50 Cent. It remains an important rare-groove and sample source record within hip-hop and soul collecting communities.
