Roscoe Umali ft. One Block Radius & 1st Place - Never Fallin’

Roscoe Umali - Never Fallin'

Producer: Fingazz

Album: The World's Finest

Label: Artisan of War Ent.

The ‘80s have definitely made a comeback in urban music, and not just in the ways you might expect—though plenty of artists on the purist/hipster end of the spectrum are looking to hip-hop’s Golden Age greats, there’s also been a movement towards the decade’s more elaborately-coiffed New Wave sounds (see: Flo Rida‘s Right Round, Slim Thug‘s I Run...). With new single Never Fallin’, Los Angeles emcee Roscoe Umali becomes the latest rapper to spin a synthpop classic into a rap anthem, this time setting his sights on New Order’s Bizarre Love Triangle. Beatsmith Fingazz’ uptempo take on the ‘86 single sets the stage for Umali’s high-rolling, hater-blocking rhymes, as well an equally swagger-drenched contribution from One Block Radius’ Marty James. Complete with a catchy, club-ready chorus by R&B hookman 1st Place, Never Fallin’ is sure to have retro-minded listeners humming along, as well as stirring up early buzz for the 2010 release of Umali’s The World’s Finest LP.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11677	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Definitely a summer song! Since this worked well the first time around with New Order, it could work again here. To be honest, it sounds so identical to the original, I am not sure how much credit Fingazz should get on the production tip. With that said, Roscoe and Marty sound good. Pop rap defined.

Mr.Top Hat Tastemaker Total Ratings: 4267	Rating: Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs Yo! Beat is murderous. Lyrics are, well, on-point. The heavy bass line and sing-a-long chorus will make this one perfect for the clubs, cars & cribs.
