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

Dunson - 'Count On It'

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

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.
