Songs of 2012 Countdown: #6 The ReMINDers

“You Can Count on Me” When I watched the ReMINDers perform during the Planet Hip-Hop showcase at this year’s South by Southwest, “You Can Count on Me” was the song that surely got the biggest crowd reaction. It’s not hard to hear why. As featured on the Colorado Springs couple’s sophomore CD, Born Champions, it’s a moving expression of mutually assured devotion that juxtaposes rap verses and soulful choruses as deftly as anyone this side of Lauryn Hill and the Fugees.
