MVP
Roc Ya Body

Positiva

WE SAY

Robert Clivillés of C&C Music Factory took a six year break from the music industry after the other 'c' (David Cole) passed away. His return sees him put together a rap group with the aim of "steering the rap game away from its dismal street tales, and back to the dancefloor". MVP = Most Valuable Playas. The video was shot in Puerto Rico and features even more beauties in bikinis than there are hooks in the track. Roc Ya Body was a radio hit in Robert's native New York last year but never got a full release due to legal problems. Kiss TV, The Box, The Hits, MTV Base and MTV Dance are all playing it, as are Kiss FM, Galaxy and Juice.
