This is a song about Celestia peacing out on Twi to retire and leaving the whole kingdom to her woefully unprepared student. :P Steven wrote this song back in 2016, but as he was stepping away from fandom works at the time, he asked me to finish and release the song for him. 4 years later, I can finally make good on my promise to him X3

It really is a dream come true to get to work on something with Steven~ Having myself joined the community in 2013, Steven, A.D. was one of those musicians I and many other people really looked up to as an inspiration, so I'm glad I had the opportunity to help him out on this fun tune. I still don't really think of myself as a rapper, but I tried my best to emulate Steven's vocal style on songs like "Ballad of the Faithful Student", "The Sameling", "With My Thoughts", and of course "A Tropical Octav3". When I initially submitted this song to Ponies @ Dawn back in March the judges commented on how great Steven's vocal performance was, so I like to think I did at least a decent job in that respect if I managed to fool them XP

Hope you enjoy this fun little return of rapping FritzyBeat, don't expect him to show up too often, haha.

Cheers!

We originally hoped to release this song through one of the Ponies at Dawn albums, but it got rejected for sounding too simple, dated, and just generally old-school fandom... and... yeah fair enough XD Considering it was made mostly in 2016 I can see why it might not live up to the standards P@D has now. But frankly, I think I take that as a compliment :) I rather enjoy the simple fun music from the earlier days of the MLP community, when everything really felt a whole lot simpler. It's quite charming imo c:

In the end I'm kinda glad it wasn't accepted, cause had it been on the album, I would have never taken the time to draw all this cover & video art in an attempt to give this song a proper fun release~ I'm quite excited to get to share this silly little tune with you all, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed performing it and Steven enjoyed making it ^^
