Travie McCoy is the vocalist of the rap-core band Gym Class Heroes, and the track “Billionaire,” featuring Bruno Mars—who is hugely popular in Japan—combines a country-style vibe with rap, creating a sound that feels both fresh and nostalgic.

This classic smash hit is also one of the best songs to listen to in the summer.

If you listen with an open mind, I think you’ll understand just how great this song is.
