@RichieCunning is at it again. Mixing his classic song "One Dollar Wonder" with @AloeBlacc's "I Need A Dollar" (the theme song to How To Make It In America on HBO), a new slap for the scrilla-impaired has been born. Don't sleep on this one, and be sure to check out more of Richie Cunning's dopeness and the rest of the Rec-League over at RoutineFly.com!
If you haven't heard of the Son of the City, you're really slippin. Up and comer Richie Cunning just dropped his debut album, Night Train, which was some of the dopest dope my cd player has ever smoked. This song wasn't on it, but if you enjoy clever raps and goofy videos, you will enjoy it.
