I immediately fell in love with the track.. as I say in the title it is a pseudo cross between Mickey Avalon and MetroStation.  Imagine a Shake it mix up with slightly toned down Mickey lyrics… It’s glorious. 

Anticipating a one hit wonder, I reluctantly streamed a few more tracks via youtube.  15 minutes of pure joy played through my laptop speakers and I immediately purchased the album on itunes.  I’ve listened to the entire album through probably 3 times already.  The CD flows pretty well and although the songs do sound similar, there is enough variation to keep it interesting.  If I didn’t know that these were two college physics majors from Boulder Colorado (the 303 area code –  hence the name), I could easily believe one of them is a Lil’ Jon clone… which is hilarious in itself. 

 

Don\’t Trust Me

 

Honestly, 3oh!3 probably aren’t going to win an award or even get a lot of radio play, but as underground hip hop and upbeat party music, they are a fantastic duo that will surely provide some friday night preparty entertainment.
