Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar (Official Video)

This is the theme song for HBO's newest series "How To Make It In America."

This guy's voice is super dope. When I first heard this song I thought it was a sample from an old Ottis Redding song. He's bringing the classic sound back for sure.

SAY AAHHH!!!

Coca-Coca enlisted the help of Karl Lagerfeld to design an aluminum Coca-Cola Light bottle. “The designer affixes his style and his famous silhouette on the bottle and delivers an exclusive creation with chic lines and also a unique box in limited edition, accompanied with a bottle-opener discreetly hidden in a drawer.” Assuming this isn’t an April Fools’ joke, they’ll be available from April 24th at colette.
