A song Urban AC (and maybe Urban Mainstream) should be playing, but isn't

[JerseyDude]

The theme from "How to make it in America (HBO)". Buzzing on the internet,but no play on Urban stations. Guess thats why Urban is failing under PPM. They just keep it bland.

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar (How To Make It In America Theme Song) :
I hear this is the first single from his forthcoming album.

Yeah, that's what happens when corporatization of radio constricts playlists to specific core artists unless they are lucky enough to know personality or DJ that will give their songs some spins. It's a nice song, and could easily see it getting spins on Urban AC, Urban Contemporary, and maybe some Mainstream Urban radio stations.
