David Browne
David Browne is EW's music critic and author of ''Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley'' (HarperCollins)
On his debut, this Nashville rapper salutes his favorite brand of lip balm, advocates safe sex, asks Bill Clinton if he can sleep on his lawn, and tries to impress a member of TLC by boasting that he's friendlier than the captain of The Love Boat. But between the waggish lilt of his tongue and the mellow, live-jam feel of the music, D has done the near-impossible: He makes loose, playful rap that's more than just a novelty.
