“‘Rare Moments’ is the closest I’ve ever come musically to my Nashville roots,” Wilson tells American Songwriter. “Growing up in Nashville, I’ve been a fan of country music, with songwriters like Johnny Cash and Gram Parsons being my absolute favorites. In some crazy way it’s probably my own little tribute to them. As for songwriting, I absolutely love a strong melody, so I always start with that first. The majority of the time it dictates the mood of the song and the lyrics. For me, songwriting is always unpredictable, so I never go in knowing exactly what is going to come out. It’s almost spiritual in that way … like going to church on Sunday and catching the Holy Ghost.”Previous: Spree Wilson - Sharpshooter [Lyric Video]
"Back in November, Busta Rhymes offered you all a chance to appear in the music video for "Why Stop Now," his latest single. Hundreds of you took up his challenge, downloaded the song, learned the verse, and filmed yourselves spitting it. Busta watched the entries, selected his favorites, and had director Hype Williams splice them into the final cut.Previous: Busta Rhymes - Can You Keep Up? ft. Twista
