Coming Soon: Aloe Blacc’s Official “I Need A Dollar” Music Video

Aloe Blacc, the musician that stole the show from Luis Guzman, who stole the show from Bryan Greenberg, is set to release the official music video for his hit song "I Need A Dollar."  This is the lead single from Aloe Blacc's forth coming album Good Things. The album is produced by Truth & Soul, and features the backing from the band known as Expressions and El Michels Affair. Production on the music video is wrapping up this month, and the album is coming to stores soon, and for you vinyl junkies out there, "I Need A Dollar" will be in stores on 12-inch in April. Stay tuned, more details coming soon.

Blacc describes himself as a musician. He has produced music in many genres from country and folk to hip-hop and dancehall. "Whatever I make depends on what instrument I choose to pick up at the time; the guitar usually brings something alternative out, while the keys direct me to a more soulful composition. Most times I just make some banging hip hop."

A So Cal native Aloe Blacc began his recording career as an MC back in 1995, when he joined up with hip-hop producer Exile to form the mainstay indie rap group, Emanon. A few years later, Aloe would stow away on a Lootpack European tour and become fast friends with Oh No a relationship which led to many fruitful collaborations as a solo artist.

These days, Aloe Blacc has evolved into a true Renaissance man. Recordings like his Latin cover of John Legends Ordinary People prove that not only can this multi-instrumentalist produce, rap and sing but he can flip it in Spanish, too. With an amazingly broad set of influences ranging widely from the acoustic guitar stylings of folk artist Cat Stevens, to the soul-stirring sounds of the Negro Spirituals, Aloe prides himself on the spectrum of his musical roots. His sound often forays into the digital R&B realm, but always grooves with a tinge of Latin and the pulse of hip-hop.
