Yo, HHR would like to spotlight some cool hip hop from a dude who goes by the Anime called 'Tell Myself I'm Happy'. It's funky and has a fresh sound. Here's what his publicist wrote regarding this track and the bonus joint 'The Day After'..."Anime's first single, 'Tell Myself I'm Happy' is everything that a hip-hop single should be. The feel good (yet thought provoking) beat is provided by German super-producer Shuko. Anime paints a picture with his lyrical imagery taking us through "just one of those days".
