As Hip Hops 50th Year comes to a close, South Miami’s J.R. EWING drops a groove inducing single to not only pay homage to Hip Hop’s Pioneers, but to get the party people back on the Dance Floor, where Hip Hop really started. On DANCING WITH THE STARS produced by Miami’s G.O.P., EWING flips a Throwback Thursday style, reminiscent of Kurtis Blow, that fits the Horn Heavy Disco Vibe perfectly. JR EWING weaves a story thats “Stranger than Fiction” as he paints the picture of EWING on pure pimp mode, not even “John Travolta can fuck with his vibe”. DANCING WITH THE STARS is a perfect house party joint, and it comes right on time for the New Years Celebration. Just cause the song is named after a popular televised Dancing Compition, don’t think J.R. is selling out and going pop. As EWING makes clear, “He can do this Gentelman Like or on some Gangster Shit.”

Don’t get it twisted. When J.R. EWING hears “STAYING ALIVE”, the last thing he thinks of is The Beegees. EWING has been staying alive in the South Miami/ Kendall Area that to some might see as a suburban get away, but as many of us learned quickly, was just as grimey and dangerous as the projects around Down Town. Coming up in Miami Hip Hop by way of Rap Battles on ART OF WAR 305, Miami’s premier Battle Rap League, EWING quickly showed that he had the grit and wit to bark on an opponent face to face, and the talent and skills to translate his performance to the medium of actual Records, something not many Battle Rappers can do. He proves he can make the transition just fine on another G.O.P. Produced banger, NOBODY’S PERFECT. G.O.P. flips a filthy blues guitar riff sample and leaves J.R. EWING to do dirt over the drum break. Its a fact that NOBODY’S PERFECT, but EWING and G.O.P are batting damn near 100% on this one. J.R’s verses weave between grimey street raps and mature “Think Twice” advice. He even slips in a glimpse of hope at redemption from our imperfection on the last verse. Where DANCING WITH THE STARS might be meant to grab the attention of a wider audience, NOBODIES PERFECT is meant for Hip Hop heads who dont mind having their face muscles hurt from scrunching up too much. This one will leave you with that stank face, and maybe a sense of forgiveness.
