Becky G Offers Well-Rounded Debut; Samples J.LO


Earlier this week newcomer Becky G dropped the music video for her Jennifer Lopez inspired first single called "Becky From the Block". Title sound familiar? It samples the chorus of Jennifer Lopez's "Jenny From the Block". The carefully crafted single has a latin vibe with several rap verses depicting Becky G's life before and after her rise to fame. The single hits a high point when she raps the lines "If you wanna date me, you gotta ask my Daddy/And my 30 uncles, you can meet them in an alley". Toward the end she even starts to sing. The song offers almost everything you could want: Latin vibes, Pop, Rap, and a true story.


Rating: 7.5
Bottom-Line: A great debut, but could have used a more original chorus. Worth the listen.
