Spin Cycle: “Rave On Buddy Holly”
Rave On Buddy Holly is a behemoth and overwhelming success of a tribute album. If this was the accompanying soundtrack to a major biopic, it would be a best seller already. Almost every song is a raging success—holy shit Cee-Lo, did you just invent another crazy [good] style of singing??

However, it looks like things have been resolved for the time being, and “Lasers” will be released next spring. To tease his upcoming release, a single called “The Show Goes On” has surfaced. I know I’m quick to praise any rapper who’s not talking the same old […]
