Luchini AKA This Is It

Luchini AKA This Is It

Camp Lo

“Luchini (This is It)” was released as the second single from Camp Lo’s debut album, Uptown Saturday Night and is the group’s biggest single to date, peaking at #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart.

During an interview with Complex in 2010, producer Ski Beatz provided some background information about the track:

[The album] was basically done but we needed one more song to make a single and bring the album together. So it was crunch time. And I got that Dynasty sample [“Adventures in the Land of Music”] and I said, ‘This is it, this is the one for them.’ I wrote the hook in my house.

I played it over the phone for Suede, and he said, ‘Yo, I gotta come hear that in person.’ He came by the house with Cheeba, they wrote it that night, laid it down, and took it to Profile. They loved it and they had us in the studio. Next thing you know, it was all over the place.

The thing for everybody I was working with…Biggie heard ‘Luchini’ and he was like, ‘Come on, man, I need a beat from you.’ Once Jay heard it, he was like, ‘Come on, man, what the fuck?’
