Rock City - Dark Cloud
Artist: Rock City
Producer: So Fly & Nius
Album: Free at Last
Label: Rebelution Music
R. City never hesitated to voice their frustrations with label politics – see the Virgin Islands-bred brothers’ lengthy and valiant PTFAO (Put the F*ckin’ Album Out) campaign – but in retrospect, it seems they were holding their tongues through the whole ordeal. Having parted ways with Konvict Muzik, Da Spokesman and Don’t Talk Much are ready to cut the crap and address the Dark Cloud that’s been hanging over their heads for five long years – a cloud by the name of Akon. Over So Fly & Nius’ pop-rock boardwork, the freestyle series alumni blast their former boss for being too wrapped up in his own work to give them the time of day: “What’s a label when your CEO is an artist whose only obvious motive is focusing on his own sh*t?” That, and chasing skirts: ”All that man really cares about is getting laid…” Oh and, on top of the salacious industry gossip, it’s a damn catchy record in its own right. If you found this blistering kiss-off entertaining, more hot tunes (and, presumably, plenty of spleen-venting) await on debut set Free at Last, dropping this summer via the group’s own Rebelution Records.

I really like this. The lyrics are good and on-point, the beat has a hopeful tone that matches perfectly, everything is just good. I didn't like some of Rock City's music in the past, but this may change my mind.

Big Akon fan, but this is a good track, and regardless of how much I like his music, there's no excusing the neglect of your artists.

hopefully akon gets the message- these guys are far too talented to sleep on for that long!

They let everybody know that Akon is not holding them back. So he can keep his fancy lifestyle and money, because they are going to do it.By the Way I love the hook and the piano on the beat with the drums.

I'm so paid!!! I see why now, kudos to these guys for taking their shots. It doesn't matter if they're bitter, I'd be bitter too. Screw Akon, who also hasn't made a good song in like... ever 3.5

Hot song. Akon made a poor choice sleeping on these guys. The beat is solid, and the hook is really good. The verses our passionate, and you can really sense their frustration at not being able to display their talent. I've been a fan of Rock City for a while, but, like them, I have been disappointed at their progression. Here they really show they know how to make good music and have too much talent to be held back.

Great production but if no one knew their back history the shots could have been a generalization of the era a certain Mr. Bad Boy ushered in. It wasn't necessary because the track can stand on its own. The overall message is no one can hold you down, sometimes just making dope music is all that's needed to stick it to whoever.

I knew there was something holding these two back. I always believed they had the talent and charisma to be big in the game today. I'm glad to see them breakout and with it a great new track.

Well this is the perfect example of a diss song and this may be the first Akon diss song but besides that it's not a bad song at all and I actually like it.

I guess it just needed to be said. it's a shame that an instrumental and a good chorus had to be wasted on material like this, would love to hear a remake of this with some more substance.

I like R. City expressing their frustrations through music, but it's a bad album inclusion. This should just be a promo song. An album shouldn't include diss songs. It just brings down the substance. Anyway, good song.
