T.I. - Live Your Life (Feat. Rihanna)

Whichever mastermind had the grand idea of pairing T.I. and chart vixen Rihanna together for this single 'Life Your Life', deserves a hefty pat on the pack. With these two heavyweight names on board, this was never going to be a bad collaboration and it serves as one of T.I.'s biggest tracks.

Aside from an annoying yodelling sample (hijacked from O-Zone's EuroPop hit 'Dragostea Din Tei', no less), the Atlanta rapper's smooth-flowing rap juxtaposed with RiRi's robotic vocals is a recipe for pop perfection, and it works brilliantly.

You can't go wrong with sticking this on the iPod - the gang-chant backing vocals, lumped in with synths and a club beat, provide a much-needed uplifting feel at this frosty time of year.
