Friday's Five Random Questions with @RockyRivera

I listen to a lot of music each week. Not too often can I just sit down and enjoy a project from front to back without interruption. This past Friday while journeying from Upstate to Downstate NY, I hit play on Rocky Rivera's latest offering, Pop Killer.
The replay factor in today's music is important. Pop Killer has that replay factor through the roof. I played the mixtape over a dozen times in the last week since first downloading it. Rocky Rivera is dope.
Anyway, she decided to take the challenge this week. See how she answered Five Random Questions after the jump. Chea!
What I'm Watching: Jabee “Nobody”
I dig this joint. Very cool, laid back and heartfelt. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

What EMS Is Listening To ... Ray LaMontagne - Crazy (original by Gnarls Barkley)
As you should know by now, I love throwing in those curve balls on TMB every now and then and this weekend, I'll be throwing in a few. But I'd like to start off with RayLaMontagne. I don't know if this particular audience (meaning, you avid TMB followers) have ever heard of him, but he's a super dope musician. Absolutely love the grit and passion in his voice when he sings. I caught this song he did from my home girl @KeviaValentina. LaMontagne does a cover of "Crazy" originally by Gnarls Barkley. Suffice it to say, I dig the acoustic version.
Enjoy.
