H.I.F.T 8/28

Every year there is a song that is polarizing. A song that walks the line between annoying and pure joy. When you first hear it, the only that comes to mind is, "Why?" However, it finds a way to burrow itself into you mind. And before you know it you are singing it to. That honor belongs to the song, "Cha Cha" by D.R.A.M.

This sleeper hit first invaded my eardrums one late night on MTV Jams. To be honest, the video is just as important as the song. Without it, you just don't get what this song or guy is about.  

The content is very relatable. You find yourself in a club that caters to a different culture. Add some drinks and a fine lady or two, and you got the courage to go dance with a girl to a dance you know nothing about. That my friends sums up "Cha-Cha". You can't help but love this. This record reminded me about the fun element of hip hop. I often look for the lyrics over everything. But, music is about a feeling first. In the video, D.R.A.M is not faking how much fun he's having. You want to be included in all the tom-foolery. Is this one-hit wonder worthy?, still too soon to tell. But he might have put out his best work first. Until then, "Cha-Cha" my friends. And if you see Taina, say what's up for me.
