Grammy Award winning production team Play-N-Skillz have joined forces with rap icon Too $hort to create a theme song for the hit E! Network show Kendra.
The theme was the end result of a recent studio session between the artists and the show’s star, Kendra Wilkinson.
According to Play, the composition of the song was a memorable experience.
“We had extreme synergy going into the studio with Too $hort and Kendra to record the theme song,” the beatmaker said.
“We had a great time recording it and we’re very happy that Kendra loved the theme song.”
With the theme, the Kendra show became E!’s newest hit, after it debuted at number one on the night of its premiere (June X), with an audience of 2.6 million viewers.
The series, a spin-off of the network’s The Girls Next Door, chronicles Wilkinson’s life after leaving the Playboy Mansion and getting engaged to Philadelphia Eagles receiver Hank Baskett.
While Too $hort laid the vocals for her new theme song, the studio session is not the first time the Oakland rapper has worked with worked with Wilkinson.
Too $hort mentored the glamour model as she competed on the MTV show Celebrity Rap Superstar.
The success of Kendra comes amid the popularity of Play-N-Skillz’ collaboration with Louisiana rapper Hurricane Chris, “Halle Berry” (She’s Fine).
The song, which features G4 Recordz recording artist Supastar, currently occupies the number 12 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
The “Halle Berry” (She’s Fine) video ranks as the number two video on BET’s 106 & Park.
Play-N-Skillz are currently working on their sophomore album Out Tha Box as well as a new mixtape called Recession Proof, which will be released in the coming weeks.
