Flo Rida Peforms "Good Feeling" With The Roots On Jimmy Fallon [VIDEO]

In all my 22 years of living, I never would've thought that a collaboration between Flo Rida and The Roots would ever happen. Thanks to the great mood among the country about the Super Bowl, Flo Rida's hit "Good Feeling" was probably the most appropriate celebration song for Jimmy Fallon's post-championship late night show.

Watch below as the dance track rapper performs with the legendary Roots crew, and hit the comments with your thoughts on the unlikely collab!

When I lived in STL, I was fortunate enough to see Black Spade live at the Arch one summer, and I've been vibing to his music ever since.  He's been a local staple for years, but now he's finally getting the national attention he deserves without compromising his message.

Listen closely to "Spand," Black Spade's collaboration with producer Knxwledge and hit up the comments with your thought on the politically and socially charged track.
