Took the Summer

About a week ago, the wonderful Benzi dropped "GET RIGHT RADIO : SUMMER 2010 EDITION (HOSTED BY LMFAO)” .

Rarely am I entertained with "mainstream" music for this amount of time. He crammed 50 tracks into this 74 minute mix, and they're all bangers. One, though, stands out every time I listen. While you listen for the first time, right in the middle of it all, your ears perk up as he brings in a new track:

"One. Two. Four. Three. None of these bitches look better than me.
Hate. Hate. Hate hate hate. I don't care what bitches say, I don't even look their way.
Every time I walk in the club, they hatin' on me 'cause they know I look good.
My hair done right, and my dress so tight. All eyes on me. I took the night."

These familiar lyrics, mostly from Chelley's "Took The Night" are being voiced by an unfamiliar female singer. You try to place it, give up, scan through the tracklisting, and there it is:

With no fanfare, hype, or excitement leading up to the event, with the public being totally blindsided, Telephoned covered "Took The Night," and Benzi exclusively drops 1.5 minutes of it in the center of the Summer 2010 mix. Ridiculous.

I can't find anyone on the internets talking about this specific track. No sign of it on hypem, and an hour on google has yeilded nothing. Hopefully there will be a full track released somewhere soon, (or if it has been released already, hopefully I find it soon) but for now, I'll share the 1min 28sec from Benzi's mix that I've had on repeat for far too long while writing this.
