Alright
I wrote about DJ Burn One & All Star a/k/a Starlito not that long ago, but then I got obsessed with this song:

Starlito: "Alright" (Bleu, 2010)
"Alright" is featured on Starlito's newest release, Renaissance Gangster, which you can buy here. I did. I recommend you do, too.
All 11 songs were produced by DJ Burn One and though not every beat fits Starlito as perfectly as "Alright", many come close. I love how Starlito's flow has evolved into a style of rapping so low-key and conversational it's almost not rapping, much like late-period Mac Dre.

Lou Bond just wants a little Toyota or something.
