Buy You a Drank is T-Pain’s latest chart topper featuring the rhyme’s of Yung Joc.
Rhapsody: Buy You a Drank (Shawty Snappin’)
From Rhapsody, “Coming out of Tallahassee, Florida, T-Pain started making music as a youngster, recording four-track keyboard beats and rhyming over them beginning at the age of 10. As a teenager he rolled with a crew called Nappy Headz, finding local success with rowdy street records like “Robbery” and “F.L.A.” After the group’s shine began to dim, T-Pain switched his focus to singing, calling his own unique style “Hard & B.” Now recording as a solo artist, his demo track “Time to Make Love” was added to the rotation at local radio station, “The Beat,” 100.4, and started making waves. In 2004, he reworked Akon’s hit single “Locked Up” into his own tune entitled “Fucked Up” and the song took off regionally. Akon himself was so impressed by the cut that he signed the young singer to his Konvict Records imprint. In the fall of 2005 T-Pain dropped his first major label single, the Zapp-flavored “I’m Sprung,” in anticipation of his debut album Rappa Ternt Sanger.

With her homespun charm, curly golden locks, and prodigious gift for songwriting, Taylor Swift is one of youngest Nashville newcomers to capture a national audience in years. When she was just 16, Swift’s first big single, “Tim McGraw,” peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard country chart and held a spot in the top 10 for months. On the single’s success, Swift joined the ranks of teenage country queens like Tanya Tucker, Marie Osmond and LeAnn Rimes, who all charted as teenagers. Unlike those young chart-toppers, Swift wrote the song herself. Born in Wyomissing, Penn., in 1989, Swift began playing guitar at 12, and moved outside of Nashville with her family as a teen, and debuted at the Bluebird famed songwriter showcase. Her self-titled debut LP was issued in October of 2006 and was followed by much national touring.

Rihanna puts a taste of the 80’s into her third disc on Island Def Jam records. Rihanna’s vocals wrap around soultry strings and make the hardest of men soften.
It’s hard to find a track to throw-away on here. Rihanna makes it and doesn’t break it.
