TJR - Ode To Oi (Original Mix)

I bring you another TJR post. This time around it's an original track by the name of "Ode To Oi". The song is currently #2 on the Beatport Top 10 List behind Nervo & Nicky Romero's "Like Home". The song's use of "oi" is reminiscent of AC/DC's use of "oi" in their song "TNT". The actual drop is not until the 1:45 mark but I am sure you will enjoy the build up.

Skylar Grey - C'mon Let Me Ride (Ft. Eminem) Lyric Video
