| the critics | The Guardian: "His genius lies in pitching his records just right: he injects these songs with enough grit to interest hip-hop fans, without scaring the pop audiences his catchy hooks are designed to ensnare. It's ruthlessly effective, though difficult to love." | The N.Y. Times: "A bruiser with a sandpapery voice, he was a reliable teller of corner-boy tales and, it seemed, a willing cog. But his 2007 solo debut album, Welcome to the Zoo, revealed a burgeoning oddball ear." |
| in their own words | "I have a lot of R&B influences: rhythm and soul, rock. Dudes like Jimi Hendrix, as you can see I got him tatted on my arm. Marvin Gaye inspired me. My sisters grew up singing in the gospel choir, so that did too." - Flo Rida | "It's about music, man. It's not about putting a puzzle together or piecing together something [predictable]. It's not about that. It's about making some music. A hit is a hit." - Gorilla Zoe. |
