Rama's Hip-Hop Tune of the Week #2

Dunson - 'Count On It'

Rama's Hip-Hop Tune of the Week #2

In a week where there have been many tracks surfacing from artists of whom I am a big fan, picking one in particular has been tough.

As his tumblr helpfully informs me Dunson, formerly known as Kenton Dunson, is an investment advisor turned rapper from Maryland. ‘Count On It’, the first release from his up-coming mixtape _The Investment _features a sample of the song ‘Pinball Number Count’ which many will recognise from The Count in Sesame Street. As a fan of the children’s TV show I would have been sold on the song based on the sample alone however Dunson’s delivery and lyrics on this track are impressive and with tight production from Phatboiz this song is a definite winner.
