LTC produced and wrote the entire 2008 release "My Turn to Shine" including the song "White Girl". LTC had this to say about the song, "White Girl is slang for “Cocaine”. The song White Girl is referring to cocaine as “White Girl” it’s not making the comparison between a white woman and cocaine.
Simply, Cocaine is rapped about like it is a girl. Some artists like Nas and Chamillionaire have written similar songs that refer to “Money” as a girl".

LTC speaks both English and Creole fluently and sometimes incorporates the two in his music. LTC's album "My Turn to Shine" can be purchased online at your favorite music store.
