Melissa Czarnik is a talented lady-rapper from Wisconsin. I know not everybody here likes to mess with hiphop too much, but I urge you to give her some attention. Her tracks are light and lyrical, Thunder Summer Storm is closer in style to the work of Regina Spektor than, say, Ice Cube. Download Melissa Czarnik – Thunder Summer Storm @ Zshare.
