Though Juicy will be a hip-hop touchstone for as long as there are rap hopefuls to quote its opening couplet, Party and Bullsh*t seems to have momentarily overtaken it as the Biggie reference du jour; the ‘93 single recently inspired records by August Alsina (Party & Bullsh*t), Andrew Lewis (Party & Bullsh*t) and even 50 Cent (Bullsh*t and Party). The latest artist to put their spin on the partying/bullsh*tting theme, Rita Ora returns to our pages with Roc Nation debut single How We Do (Party) (Originally titled… wait for it… Party & Bullsh*t). Premiered Tuesday by Ora and label boss Jay-Z on NY Top 40 station Z100, the record finds beat crew The Runners juxtaposing a pop-rock guitar with bass-booming reverb-drenched percussion as the singer/songwriter encourages listeners to let go of their cares and paint the town red. An eminently catchy ode to revelry and young love, this pop-appealing selection seems poised to take over airwaves and club dancefloors in the weeks ahead—or do I have it twisted? If you agree with my assessment, then keep it locked for more fresh tunes from Ora, as well as the latest on her as yet untitled/unscheduled Roc Nation debut.

Jay-Z is a much better emcee, trendsetter, entrepreneur and mogul than he ever was as a record exec at Def Jam, but he does have an ear for talent when it comes to female, R&B/pop singers. Cough, Rihanna, cough. So when he goes out of his way to co-sign Ms. Ora, I think people might want to listen up.

This has too much of a Katy Perry pop sound for me. I can't deny that this will be a radio hit though, be prepared to hear it throughout the spring/summer.

A bit too much pop for me, but still a good effort for the world of pop.

I find songs like this pretty repulsive. This girl might have talent, but she's not expressing it obviously.
