    Soul/Jazz + S***** producers + Autotune + Flo Rida’s tone + Flo Rida’s rapping style = a mess

    s***** producers?
    are u f***** kiddin with me?

    Avicii is one of the biggest upcoming producers out there..

    However I dont believe the single is gonna do well.. Cuz Avicii released “ID” a long time ago.. And they’ve just taken the song and added flo ridas voice to it(it actually gets worse by that)…

    That flo rida is trying to talk about his inspiration is just bs.. flo rida is simply a cheap rapper who says whatever anyone says he should do.
