Rock City’s story reads a little like the plot of a Disney sports movie in which a team of underdogs overcome multiple obstacles before pulling off a big win and ultimately being crowned as champions. Hailing from the Virgin Islands, brothers Da Spokesman and Don’t Talk Much moved to Atlanta to try to make it big, and, after numerous setbacks, they now seem to be on the verge of accomplishing that goal. When I Get On, one of two recent leaks off the latest entry in RC’s Put The F*cking Album Out mixtape series, is all about the relentless grind it takes to make something happen in the unforgiving world of hip-hop. In addition to a sung hook and occasional ad libs, Konlive head honcho Akon contributes a smoldering, string-driven beat that leaves the spotlight on the brothers’ urgent and tenacious flows. If this track grabs your attention, be sure to download a copy of PTFAO: Independence Day when it hits the ‘net July 4th, and stay tuned for release details on their forthcoming oft-delayed debut album, Wake the Neighbors.

I've said this before and I will say it again: Rock City cannot make bad records. They can only make good records and great records. This is a good record, as I feel like the production effort from Kon was lacking. Overall, enjoyable ear candy.

The beat has a good vibe to it and Rock City is solid. Akon has a good verse continuing the motivational theme on the song. I can spin this

I expected better hearing the beginning :( I really like the music and Rock City + Akon sound good, but it seems like the song is too slow...I don't know! In my opinion a song like this was meant to go faster! I have the impression they are kinda depressed lol! It's in rotation

This is a pretty good song. I've certainly never heard Rock City make a bad song. This wasn't their best, I agree that the production was sub-par for Akon's standards but the song was still decent. Rock City is for real.
