Music We Missed
HOST:
We play a lot of great music on American Mosaic. But there are just not enough shows in a year to play everything. So today we play music from some of the best albums we missed in two thousand nine.
We start with the rapper Fabolous. His two thousand nine album, "Loso's Way," came with a DVD starring the rapper and some of his friends.
Singer Keri Hilson performs with Fabolous on "Everything, Everyday, Everywhere" from "Loso's Way."
(MUSIC)
