Rival recently recorded over an R&B instrumental, "Bet She Didn't Know" was an exclusive warm-up session to recording a hook on a hip hop track. "So I was just getting ready for the real thing and I started freestyling over this beat now remember I had just downloaded the beat, and within an hour I began posting the track. It was done!" Withing one hour of receiving the beat, Rival dropped the song.

What inspired the song?
Well, that's a tough question I actually had a lot in my head that day, and night. Let say my girl was a part of it of course, but then my little Yamaha was another thought, and so was another woman, Megan Fox...[laughs]
Rival did freestyle the song but the content is so related to his rhyme scheme. "Bet She Didn't Know" is Rival's first true R&B song. Since he began writing more than just Hip-Hop he has now mastered his way of doing R&B on a commercial level.

Since the partial release of the song to Rivals official Facebook artist page, close following fans posted responses.
