about
"Ain't No Stoppin’ Now" is a more than appropriate title for the latest release by guitarist / songwriter /
producer and entrepreneur Marlon McClain which features Brooklyn native, songwriter / instructor / youth
mentor and MC, BD3. It is not only the coming together of two generations but also two genres of urban
music coming together.
Marlon has been an innovative music visionary for nearly 5 decades. Starting as a teenager he was the coleader
and guitarist of the 70's progressive jazz, rock, funk band Pleasure. Later he joined the Dazz Band and
began writing and/or producing songs for such luminaries as George Benson, En Vogue, and Eric Benet.
During the A&R process of “Ain’t No Stoppin’ Now,” Marlon looked to add some East Coast flavor to the
production and liked the flow and diversity of lyricist BD3 who has the ability to rhyme naturally with a live
band, programmed music, samples and even acoustic. Recently releasing a new EP, himself entitled "trois pur
trois," BD3 loved the track and how the song allowed him to show another side of himself. He also continues
to ride a high after his successful collab on “Sunnydale” with drummer and producer UNKLE NEPHEW, all while
in the midst of this current climate of division and extremism. It is truly special to see two different generations
from two different genres come together joyfully and with optimism.
“Ain’t No Stoppin’ Now,’” is the first release from Marlon McClain’s next full-length project,

(Uhh)
VERSE:
Lord knows my mission’s to go/
Legacy starts soon’s we hit the door/
Passenger side you got the best eyes but nothing could top sight,
Vision in my mind pickett ina line/
Fight for you spot with all your 9 lives,
Dog im the champ it’s grand times 5/
All in the back tryna roll they eyes, sizing me up you know its bout my drive/
I aint trippin a bit its all apart my life/
Pump the bass and vacate the place now embrace ya fate/
Send grace in case when fate tip the scales we meet face to face/
(I run the Race Dog)
Ain’t no stopping now
(you can’t stop me, now you can’t stop me)
Verse
On my year 20 im runnin the road rocky/
Rona stopped shows but bills is still piling/
Im tryna mange how valid to get broccoli/
New world living in no rules Delinquence,
All big dividends made off black citizens/
Im on my bidnessuess Im feeling Great right, every morning when i wake up better pray like/
Pray a brother shine Harder than the Daylight/ (uhh)

Turn my headphones up
Verse:
Now what the hell are you waiting for?
Can a young brother make money anymore?
Make a flow to sell out world tours, even if the fans are watching from they phones/
What a time to be alive/
Even better what a time to be a gemini/
Duality’s reality i see from both sides,
Blessing on 3 I rely on that eye/
Who’s gonna stop you from chasing that check?
From banking that bank, From flexing that Flex/
All you gotta do is keep your foot on they necks, and move with the proper respect/ (uhh)
Genuity Gratuity ya get it/
If you keep it G you never will regret it,
The honors in your legacy its bigger than your lettuce (ya lettuce)/ (uhh)
Peep the words from the legend
Ain’t no stopping now
(you can’t stop me , no you can’t stop me nah)
Let me show you how
( I ‘m a show you how , let me show ya)
