Georgia based group Rehab emerged on the scene in ’07 with a powerful seasoning of southern rock flavorings that catapulted their underground single, “Bartender Song” into a cult hit. The track had become the decade’s premier ‘Bar Song’, and caught the attention of chart topping arbiters of rock and hip hop cuisine like Kid Rock and Uncle Cracker to inquire about covering the smash tune.
Spurred on by the rabid fan reaction, Rehab decided to re-record the song and add it to their sophomore album, Graffiti The World, along with an arsenal of new country-fried works that fans have described as “upbeat hip hop that goes for the head and the jugular”.
For Rehab, Graffiti the World is a band’s bid to cover the world with special sounds, seeking the dark and light within, asking questions and perhaps, sometimes, finding the right answers. With help from A-list producers/mixers Billy Hume, (whose credits include the Ying Yang Twins, David Banner, and Bonecrusher), and Phil Tan (who has worked with the Neptunes, Snoop, and Mariah Carey), Rehab is poised to takeover ’08 with their unique blend of funk, hip-hop, rock and country, and have a hell of a good time doing it.
Graffiti The World available on iTunes now and in stores July 15th.
