About Erica García
Ex-Mata Violeta singer/guitarist Erica García decided to go on her own in 1995. The artist got involved in music since learning how to play guitar at the age of seven, getting experience while participating in bands such as Divididos and Cienfuegos. In 1997, Ricardo Mollo produced her first album, called El Cerebro, showing Erica García's ability to combine jazz, rock, and Latin rhythms. To make her following record, bassist Martin Aloé, drummer Gustavo Glussman, and keyboardist Matías Zapata joined García. The final product of that talented reunion was La Bestia, released in 1998. The following year, the musician participated in Sandro's tribute album with a song called "Quiero Llenarme De Ti." In the year 2000, Erica García successfully performed at Miami's Second Argentinian Festival, being nominated to a Latin Grammy for her song "Vete Destino" in the category of Best Female Vocal Performance. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

Swagga Like Us T.I. & Jay-Z Feat. KanYe West & Lil' Wayne |
| If the 80s saw New York rappers rule the roost in the USA and the 90s saw the rise of East Coast rappers such as Dr Dre. and Snoop Dogg, its safe to say that the 00s have seen the South come to be the major force in commercial Hip Hop. Enter Atlanta born rapper T.I. whose latest album, Paper Trail, looks set to storm into the number one slot in the US album charts and help solidify a real shift in power that has been bubbling in the last 10 years with rappers such as Ludacris, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy. On Swagger Like Us T.I. uses a sample from British artist M.I.A., one of the few artists who is as hot as T.I. himself right now in the States, and then assembles a dream team of rappers including Jay-Z. Lil Wayne and KanYe West to create a track that is predictably going down a storm for hip hop fans. Also predictably, Swagger Like Us treads the familiar lyrical territory of women, cash, clothes, guns and rhyming ability. But hey, when the beats are this banging and the rappers are this profile who cares? To paraphrase Tim Westwood, THIS IS BIG IN THE GAME! | |
