Aloe Blacc got the biggest look of his career when his song “I Need A Dollar” was chosen as the theme song to the new HBO series How To Make It In America.

Aloe Blacc got his start with producer Exile when they formed the hip-hop group Emanon in the mid-90s.  Aloe later went on to sign with Stones Throw records and put out an R&B album, Shine Through, in 2006.

How To Make It In America, which just premiered earlier this month and stars Kid Cudi, has been getting mixed reviews, but the theme song has been getting  a lot of love.

What do you think??

    Maybe if he was saying I need some dro, henny and a big booty cutie folks would like it better or maybe he should use auto tune on his voice because he is too soulful and can actually sing.

    Folk aint heard real music in so long til when a real artist comes out ey’body screaming nah I ait feeling this ish.

    Anyway its a good song, Aloe Blacc is a good singer.

    I’m feelin’ the track, just needs some more production behind the sample. Good song, but could be better.
