Metermaids - Graveyard Shift

New York does it again.

What is this?  Good rap music.  Enough said.  Brooklyn rappers Sentence and Swell as Metermaids produce something wondrous in "Graveyard Shift," the lead single from their September release, Rooftop Shake.  Yeah, this could definitely be played on a rooftop, and it will definitely make you shake.  "Graveyard Shift" is a danceable rap track (no guest vocalist here...ahem....ahem...Taio Cruz...Akon...ahem) that will get you moving.  Odds are that if you like this song, you're guilty of serving the graveyard shift.  Never sleep, don't stop.  Sound like you?  Yeah, I thought so.

What sets "Graveyard Shift" apart from every other rap song you've heard before this?  Is it the girtty feeling you get stuck in your ears by listening (which I welcome)?  No, it's that guitar in the background.  Who needs to do the expected when you have that axe at your disposal?  So if you're awake from one o'clock to nine tonight, or just waiting on plans to go through (going out on a Monday...let's see how awake I am tomorrow...), then this post is for you.  Cups up.
