From Indianapolis studios to clubs, strip clubs, and house parties, lil3rd’s “Booty Roll” is a raw, unapologetic throwback built for movement, energy, and having a good time.

Some songs are created with a specific moment in mind. Others are built to capture an entire atmosphere. For lil3rd, “Booty Roll” was designed to do exactly that.

Originally recorded in 2007 with Indianapolis-based production team History Makerz, the track came from a period when lil3rd was looking to experiment with a different sound while maintaining the same energy and personality he brought to his other records. His goal was straightforward: create something people could dance to, have fun with, and immediately feel when it came through the speakers.

“I was looking for a different sound,” lil3rd explains. “I wanted to create something for the strip clubs and people in general that can dance and have fun with it, and still have that same energy as I did with any other song I've recorded.”

That intention is immediately reflected in “Booty Roll.” Driven by repetition, rhythm, and an infectious chant of “bouncin’, shakin’,” the record is unapologetically focused on movement. Rather than overcomplicating the concept, lil3rd leans into the energy of the dance floor and lets the record become its own atmosphere.

Built Around Movement

At the heart of “Booty Roll” is the art of dancing itself. For lil3rd, the concept came from watching the creativity that dancers bring to their performances, particularly within hip-hop and club culture.

The result is a song that encourages dancers to take the spotlight and make the moment their own.

For lil3rd, “get artistic” means exactly that: be creative, stand out, and give the crowd something they haven't seen before. Whether the setting is a club, strip club, or house party, the objective remains the same—entertain, express yourself, and bring positive energy into the room.

The song isn't restricted to one type of audience, either. lil3rd sees dance and music as something that can bring together people of different backgrounds, appearances, and personalities.

“All colors of races, different shapes and sizes love to dance,” he says, emphasizing the diversity and positive energy that surround the environments that inspired the record.

A Record Made for the Party

While “Booty Roll” has a clear club and strip-club identity, its roots stretch beyond any single environment. lil3rd describes the inspiration as coming from a mixture of clubs, strip clubs, and house parties—all places where music becomes part of the experience rather than simply something playing in the background.

That is ultimately what he wants the listener to experience.

“When people hear the song ‘Booty Roll’ I want them to feel good, feel great, have fun hopefully dance to it as well and forget all their problems.”

That philosophy gives the record a simple but effective purpose. “Booty Roll” isn't trying to be overly serious. It's about letting loose, enjoying the moment, and allowing the music to take over.

Giving the Dance Floor a Moment to Switch It Up

One of the song's more intentional elements is its breakdown. Rather than keeping the record at one constant pace, lil3rd uses the change in structure to give dancers an opportunity to switch up their performance and bring another level of creativity to the track.

For a dancer or performer, that moment becomes an opportunity to change the vibe, introduce something unexpected, and command the attention of the crowd.

It's a small structural choice that reinforces the central idea behind the entire record: there is always another way to move, perform, and entertain.

A Different Side of lil3rd

“Booty Roll” also gives listeners an opportunity to see a more playful side of lil3rd. As an artist, he doesn't define himself by a single personality or mood. Instead, he allows the song itself to determine what side of his artistry comes forward.

For this particular record, the mission was simple—have fun and create an atmosphere where the female audience could dance, bounce, shake, and enjoy themselves.

That willingness to embrace a lighter, more unfiltered side of his artistry is part of what gives “Booty Roll” its character. It's raw, direct, and intentionally designed to get a reaction.

What Comes Next for lil3rd?

Although “Booty Roll” takes listeners back to a track originally recorded nearly two decades ago, lil3rd isn't simply looking backward. He is also preparing to introduce listeners to what's next.

The artist has revealed plans for a raw and uncut EP titled “The UnderDawg,” a project fully produced by his longtime collaborator B.Wildn under GT Digital.

If “Booty Roll” gives listeners a glimpse of lil3rd's ability to create energetic, unapologetic party music, “The UnderDawg” promises to expand that picture and introduce another chapter of his artistry.

For now, “Booty Roll” stands as a record built around one timeless idea: turn the music up, let go, and enjoy the moment.

Originally recorded in 2007 but carrying an energy that remains instantly recognizable, lil3rd's “Booty Roll” is made for the people who want to dance, have fun, and leave everything else at the door.

The party starts when the beat drops.
