One thing you’ll learn about me through my music blog here, is that I love nostalgia. I adore old music that takes me back, but also I love music that I can classify as “old school”. Travie McCoy is one of my favourite rappers, and his Lazarus album is sublime. Specifically, Need You. The lyrics and music and his vocal abilities are on point, and then there’s the music video. I love its Chinatown theme and how beautiful the actual set is. This song has been on repeat all month-long.

Writers: Travie McCoy, Wayne Hector & Carsten Mortensen (aka Mintman)
