Fracking Rap

It probably won’t win a Grammy, but one of the year’s most creative tunes is getting some big-time recognition. Time magazine just gave some major year-end props to “My Water’s on Fire Tonight (The Fracking Song),” a rap produced by a group of NYU journalism students that drops knowledge about the dangers of fracking.
