Audio: Dukes Of DaVille, “Cry Baby” (Produced by Organized Noize)

story THE FADER

When Sean Kingston and JR Rotem graverobbed Ben E King’s “Stand By Me” last year for the ringtone garbation of “Beautiful Girls,” this entire office held out hope that one day someone would come along to do new school doo-wop the right way. Fortunately for the 13th floor (also: Earth!) ATL dandies Dukes of DaVille and our beloved ONP came through in the clutch with a bittersweet sock-hop anthem right on time for Summer ‘08. Somebody Google us a drive-in in the tri-state area thats still open so we can cruise over on Saturday afternoon and bump the shit out of this. We’ll settle for a halfway decent Stewart’s.
