who sings x gonna give it to you
X Gon' Give It to Ya "X Gon' Give It to Ya" is a 2003 song by American rapper DMX, released as the lead single from the soundtrack Cradle 2 the Grave. The song also appeared as a hidden track on DMX's greatest hits album, The Definition of X: The Pick of the Litter. It was written by DMX and produced by co-soundtrack organizer Shatek.[1]
I Won't Give Up "I Won't Give Up" was written by Jason Mraz and Michael Natter, while production was handled by Joe Chiccarelli.[4] The acoustic folk[5] ballad features a slower tempo and a sparse arrangement written in the key of E Major.[2] Lyrically, it is a poignant ode to a long-lasting relationship, which Mraz says he won't give up on her whatever happens.[6] "Well, I won't give up on us/Even if the skies get rough/I'm giving you all my love/I'm still looking up," he sings.[3] It is guitar led with some additional vocal landscapes towards the end of the song. Mraz told Billboard magazine: "That, to me, has always been my favorite part of making music; the singing and what voices can do and the voices singing in harmony."[6] It is likely that the song was inspired by Mraz's relationship with singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman. Mraz showcases his light and versatile range singing from B3 to G#5.
