Rock City - American Dream
Artist: Rock City
Producer: Drexx Tracks
Album: Unreleased
Label: Rebelution Music
While recent tomfoolery by our elected leaders has dealt a painful blow to the U.S.’ prospects for economic recovery, it’ll take more than a massive drop in the Dow Jones to destroy the American Dream. Not the one about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps through hard work and self-reliance—I’m talking about the American Dream whereby anyone with the right combo of irresponsibility, cash and craziness can win a national platform for their ludicrous behavior. On their latest unreleased cut (a Booth-exclusive world premiere!), Virgin Islands-bred twosome Rock City channel a little Charlie Sheen as they celebrate the country’s illustrious history of celebrity excess. Dexx Tracks departs from the duo’s usual, Caribbean-informed sound on the production tip, serving up a club-ready combo of synth arpeggios and booming bass as brothers Da Spokesman and Don’t Talk Much swagger their way through high-rolling, pop-referential verses. Though this Booth-exclusive joint isn’t set for inclusion on the project, fans of the freestyle alumni should keep it locked for details on Rock City’s long-awaited debut set, Free at Last.

Rock City are free to do whatever they want, but I prefer them with a slightly Island-tinged feel. I am not sure this is a direction that they'll be headed in permanently, but if it is I hope they leave the Charlie Sheen swag at the studio.

Not there best effort. They definitely hold their own and can pull off the deviation from their typical style, but it seemed to be missing something and lost steam at the end. Plus Charlie Sheen references have kinda jumped the shark haven't they?

This is ok, but like Z was eluding to they need to get back to what they do best, which is more Island/Pop/Club. The street angle isn't their forte.

I disagree with the majority, I actually really enjoy RCity's versatility. Even though the Charlie Sheen in the hook is a little over the top the Thomas brothers do show some of their potential when it comes to this style and I respect and appreciate that.
If this was over better production I could even cope with the Charlie Sheen... Rock City, Keep it up! |

LOVE these dudes!!!! They put energizer energy in this track! I like artists that step outside of their comfort zone and give the fans a variety of music. Today's music has gotten too formulated.
