The video shown below for 'I Heart NY' may feature Samuel riding on the back of a garbage truck, but in real life the 22-year-old found his way into the more glamourous environs of Kanye West's blog with his recent cover of Drake's 'Find Your Love'. 'I Heart NY' could be considered a lyrically downbeat antidote to 'Empire State of Mind', with Samuel paying tribute to the backstreets of the flashy metropolis, where so many are "made to grow up and be famous". Insanely (and almost irritatingly) catchy.
