http://www.sacbee.com/entertainment/story/643692.html"Sunday Single" gets down this week with a rap track from the Fairfield/Vacaville area. But unlike most of the hip-hop coming out of the 707 area code, the rapper known as ADR doesn't bother with that revved-up "hyphy" sound that's native to Northern California. ADR's song "Right'n" is a cool breeze of a track with singing, rapping and plenty of bump in the background. Check it out at

ADR (a.k.a. Adrian Montgomery)
Song: "Right'n"
Style: Hip-hop with soulful singing and enlightening vibes
Influences: "Everything from Sade to Tupac, Nirvana, Bob Marley - all that stuff," says ADR.
Behind the song: "When I first met the singer, Jennifer, we kind of connected with things happening around us," says ADR. "The song is about writing with a pen, but there's a double meaning as in 'making things right.' I wrote a little verse, and she came up with her own verse and hook, and we got good feedback on it.
"We just want to make people have a good time and not be all about money and flash'n. You don't have to act a fool to have a good time."
