You Go, Remy!

This morning, I received an email from my former co-worker and friend, Mona! (Hello, Mona! You Secret Sandwich!) It had link, with no explanation or description. I thought to myself, "Uh oh... is this a Spam email with a virus attached that has viciously bounced off of Mona's email account without her knowing??" But then I realized... it was a YouTube video and gave it a click. After I did so, to my delight I realized -- Oh, it's Remy! My favorite DC-based rapper.... no explanation needed.

But this is a blog, so I'm going to explain. Remy (Full name: Remy Munasifi) is an Arlington, Virginia local - born and raised - who writes the most observant and hilarious raps about daily living in the greater Washington D.C. area. Clever lyrics, combined with catchy music and narrative scenes, Remy has been producing his own rap videos on Youtube for nearly 4 years -- and has since become a viral video sensation -- with over 110,00 Youtube followers. He has garnered shout-outs and fueled discussions on CNN, The Washington Post, and Fox News... just to name a few. And now, he has his very own album, commissioned by Comedy Central.

If you like him, here's a link to his website: http://www.goremy.com/Site/Home.html

This one is for my D.C. readers, who, like Remy, have experienced the ups and downs of relying on the District of Columbia's Metro Transit System. Special thanks to Mona for sending it along! (xoxo, Mona! You're the best Reverend in town!)
