Live Your Life [Featuring Rihanna]

T.I. scored his second #1 single of his career with this hot new song. "Live Your Life" gets its hook from an unusual source - the hit single "Dragostea din tei" by Moldovan pop group O-Zone. You've probably never heard of O-Zone, but you've heard this song. It's also sometimes known as the "Numa Numa Song" and was featured in that internet video with the rather rotund European kid singing the lyrics - Mai-ia-hii/ Mai-ia-huu/ Mai-ia-ha/ Mai-ia-haha. Ah, now you probably remember it.

It's a bizarre sample for a rap single, but T.I. and producer Just Blaze are talented enough to blend it seamlessly into the song without making it seem like too much of a novelty. Of course, another savvy decision was to have diva-of-the-moment Rihanna sing the numa numa opening and then incorporate the same rhythm later in the song; she seems to have the midas touch lately. Every element just really works together in this song that promises to be around until well after the winter holidays.
