Amy Winehouse: "Rehab"
[Listen]
"I'm gonna need to go to rehab my damn self for marijuana one day," says Krayzie, who admits he relates to a lot of songs on the U.K. soul singer's recent Back to Black. "She came from the blues with a different sound than anybody."
Lily Allen: "Smile" [Listen]
"It's kind of a raw song," he says of Allen's sunny, stripped-down debut. Why so many Brit chicks? "I guess I love that accent. It's so different."
Bill Withers: "Lovely Day" [Listen]
"I have always loved that song," Krayzie says of Withers' 1977 ode to optimism. "If it's a nice day outside, you're in the house getting dressed, about to go out, it puts a little pep in everything."
Louis Armstrong: "What a Wonderful World" [Listen]
"It has a calm, peaceful mood, but it makes you wonder what he really meant," says Krayzie. "It's a thinking song."
Rihanna: "Umbrella" [Listen]
The Barbadian R&B queen's pop hit has the rapper's vote for jam of the summer: "It has a hip-hop beat, but she puts some real cool melodies and harmonies over it."
