OK, I get it. Some of you are still holding on to the whole Emanon part of Aloe Blacc’s career. And yeah, I don’t really blame you as he was a pretty damn good rapper. But I’ll be damned if he’s also not a talented singer with a unique, soulful voice. Anyway, we’ve posted the studio version of this track, which many of you know as the theme for How to Make it in America, aka another shit-tacular HBO show. This time, Stones Throw has released live studio footage of Aloe and his band performing “I Need a Dollar“. The results, as expected, are fantastic and it’s great to see how much fun they’re having recording this cut.

Same thing here, j. I just deleted my leak, though, because I want to buy/hear the final version. Definitely great from what I heard, though.
Great track from what will (probably) be the best album of 2010. I got the leaked version, and it seems as though there is one track change, and the order is different…whatever. Great album, cannot wait to buy it.
