I grew up in a household full of temperamental women. This had its advantages and disadvantages. The downside was that there was never a male role model at home so I ended up admiring the hustlers on the street corner. The upside was that I was privy to info that I would use later on in life to pick up women.

I remember when I moved into my first apartment at the age of 19. It was a one-bedroom space in an old tenement building in Harlem. I moved in there mainly because my aunt and uncle lived in the apartment directly above me. My aunt had a funny way to inform me that dinner was ready; she would bang 10 times on the radiator. Being that I didn’t have a telephone yet, she would bang 5 times if I had a call.

The only furniture I had was a bed, a television set, a stereo system, and a couple of TV trays to eat on. This was the ultimate bachelor’s pad! The one thing my apartment never lacked was a bottle of white zinfandel and good slow music. Now you know, other than wine coolers, white zinfandel was the wine of choice for young dudes trying to mack. Looking back, how sophisticated could I have really been eating off TV trays?

Anyway, I had a surefire way to get my mack on, I would pop in a mix tape I made called “Seduction Production.” This tape was full of guilt free music! You would never have found Shirley Murdock’s “As We Lay” on this tape! Strictly groups like Switch, LTD, The Whispers, DeBarge, and definitely Teddy Pendergrass! Today’s hot picks are dedicated to Seduction Productions baby!
