About The Sisters
Chicano girl group the Sisters teamed East Los Angeles siblings Rosella, Ersi, and Mary Arvizu. Discovered by producer Billy Cardenas, the trio signed to Del-Fi Records; their debut session, recorded at the famed GoldStar studios with future Love members Arthur Lee and John Echols among the session players, generated a fine 1964 rendition of the oft-covered "Gee Baby Gee"; the follow-up, the Sisters' take on the Jessie Hill classic "Ooh Poo Pah Doo," featured Ersi on lead (Rosella typically assumed the helm), but like its predecessor failed to catch on at radio. The group's final single, 1965's Sam Cooke cover "I Love You (For Sentimental Reasons)," was also the last official Del-Fi release; although the Sisters soon disbanded, Ersi eventually scored a belated chart hit as a member of the Latino rock combo El Chicano, whose instrumental "Viva Tirado" cracked the pop Top 30 in the spring of 1970. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Swagger Like Us T.I. Feat. Lil Wayne & Kanye West & Jay-Z |
| 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! | |
