"Left, Right, Left" is now 25 years old! | DRAMA Celebrates New Single, Falcons Anthem and New Album

ATLANTA - Oct. 20, 2024 - PRLog -- "Left, Right, Left" is now 25 years old. For Terence "DRAMA" Cook, no one would guess that a 17-year-old teen growing up in Atlanta would ever propel to such success — and definitely not as quickly as it did.

The production of "Left, Right, Left" was a truly creative collaboration between a 15-year-old DRAMA and the 15-year-old future Trap Music Legend Shawty Redd (born Demetrius Lee Stewart) of Twinn Productions. Cook would turn his entire body cavity into a living drum set and would bang out the beats heard in his head on his chest instead. He would hum out the melodies, and Shawty Redd would take out his E-mu SP-1200 to turn it all into a beat.
