When a rap star makes it big it seems only polite for them to launch the career of one of their cronies into a higher level. Luckily for Twista he was in a position to jump on the Kanye West bandwagon. Despite him being a bit of a rap veteran it was the success of Slow Jamz that's given Twista his break.
So Sexy is a nice slice of crossover R&B and rap, clearly a result of R Kelly's influence. The Pied Piper takes production credits as well as featuring on the track. It's a cunning move for him to be involved in a more mature sounding track distancing himself from the young guns like Marques Houston.
There's enough about So Sexy to give it a relative amount of credibility, mainly thanks to the Twista's machine gun rapping style. It's a bit too smooth to make it a major hit in the vein of Slow Jamz and Overnight Celebrity, the fact there's nothing spectacular about it will also have an impact on where So Sexy charts.
