"I'm fucking great at rapping!" roars Himanshu Suri on the hip-hop provocateurs' new one. It's true – he and partner Victor Vazquez have only gotten cleverer since last year's name-making mixtapes. They go extra hard here, referencing Ritchie Valens and Oompa-Loompas over a tweaked-out beat.

    “Oh Sherrie”

    Steve Perry | 1984

    Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
