I really hate showing up in the middle of anything; a movie, conversation etc. But you can’t catch everything from jump.  Perfect example, Rocky Rivera just dropped the video for “Girl Like Me.” It’s the third from her self-titled debut that was released sometime last year. Yet, this the first time I’m sitting down to get acquainted with Rivera the emcee. (Yes, I am aware of Rivera the music journalist) *Sigh*

So now I have to back track, but better later than never right?  Her guest is Raka Dun from Los Rakas and the production duties were handled capably by 6Fingers.  I can live without auto tune, but she uses it effectively instead of slathering it like shaving cream on Jeremiah Johnson.   Anyway, the song is suitable for the dance floor in a non-hooch kind of way and you can get your dance on without having to get your freak on and that is always a welcomed change.

I’m sure all of you have seen this before, but Rivera is relatively new to me, so I’ll just tell myself to enjoy this one while the rest of you are on to the next one.  I’ll catch up with y’all later. I have an album to listen to.
