“The city of Bristol really is pretty perfect,” said Flores, a 25-year-old city native whose music has attracted national attention on the hip-hop circuit.
“People probably take Bristol for granted,” he said. “It really is a beautiful city and a wonderful place to raise a family.”
In its first week online, Flores’ “Bristol State of Mind” – a local version of the hit song about New York by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys – has attracted nearly 12,000 viewers in an ever escalating trend.
“It’s getting played all over” the country, said Troy Wilson, a friend who works with Flores.
The Bristol song, which includes some offensive words despite its generally positive outlook, features Flores rapping about everything from “the Christmas decorations on the lamp posts in the winter” to a legendary drive-through worker at Taco Bell.
“I’m just the king to a throne in the city that has taught me everything that I’ve known,” Flores raps in the song. Click here for the full story.

Is this another republican recruit, along with Hill, Alford, Johnson, Lawton, and whoever else you can remember?
May God help Bristol. His rap song was an insult to Bristol and he has been given too much attention already.

Let's agree that both the Bristol Democrat and Republican candidates and elected officials have a lot to be desired.
LOL you've got to be kidding me.
ART IS A INSULT TO BRISTOL . Hes got my vote
THIS UY COULD DO A BETTER JOB THEN ART AKA BUD MAN.
UV? Bud Man? Better job??? HAHAHAHA!
NOPE
Why not? He can't be worse than current pack of hacks.
I agree the leadership in bristol is nothing or less. Any one with guts to make one cut in savings has got my vote unless my condo sells and i could get the hell outof here. Isee the mayor has his union flunks all over the blog covering for him. Hows the rehab going.
I'm not a "union flunk" but I sure wish you the best of luck on selling that condo! Buh-bye!
I hear the mayor is taking spanish lessons to get ready for the next election. His wife was seen buying him some new outfits at west end shops. He starting to eat a lot of rice and beans with a lot of PR RUM. She is having hisb car being painted yellow and purple hes getting ready for the one.
I'll be interested in seeing how he does in bit for mayor
The Republicans are getting desparate
7:344 You're right your not a "union flunk" you're just a plain old "Flunk"
