grimm's DJ BOOTH PROFILE

“Now this is strange...the folksy beat might be a turn-off for some, but I found it refreshing, and it's pretty cheery. I actually got some of my more rock-oriented friends to listen to this...definitely a genre buster. Definitely give it a try! @richard: That sample sound like some sort of an Irish folktune-not that I know much about those.”

“I like it when artists take some chances with their vocals, and the Governor doesn't disappoint. His rhymes are tight, and he isn't afraid to croon out some of those high notes. A smooth, but not outstanding beat rounds things out, but the Gov is the real star here.”

“Oh my. Everybody, take Em's hand. You're not alone. It channels Beautiful, but takes it one step further. It's not hype. This track is real. Bobby Ray, I'm sure Em didn't mean to steal your thunder the week of your album release, but it happens. He's back folks. Get ready.”

“I was initially really put off by the beat. I believe firmly that songs shouldn't yell at me...that's why I'm posting here on the Booth and not on some sh*tty death metal site. But I sure am glad I kept listening to the point where I put this track on repeat. That background voice imparted a sense of quiet desperation that really stuck with me after a while. The rest of the production, with its organ-esque synth and epic horns makes for a diverse yet cohesive beat. The vocals are excellent, as many have pointed out. It's extremely...umm...confident, as evidenced by that Listerine line.It's intense while remaining fluid. Great stuff. This sounds real fresh, and you should check it out. @Z and my fellow Boothers, can you recommend any more sick tracks from Styles? I'm checking the back catalog on the Booth now, but I'd like to get your input.”

“Freddie, Freddie, Freddie. You're one subtle cat. Entertaining rhymes, watertight flow, and a relaxed confidence characterize the lyrics. @Mr. Top Hat, I agree. Natural is a great word to describe the flow. Great, spacy production. Richard and my fellow Boothomites have already said what needs to be said, and I agree again. The sing-songy chorus near the end was a bit annoying, but that's nitpicking. @Sons of Ireland, I don't know what flowetric actually means, but it sounds appropriate. Don't miss this one.”

“This had me hooked from start to finish. It has some bumpin beats, it's hilarious, poignant, it has some top notch rhymes, and it's a breath of fresh air compared with some of the more popular mainstream stuff. It has some great dance hits to get you movin, and there's clever use of diverse samples. But the strong lyrics will make you stop and listen, since we've all been in the titular Super Senior rut before. There's a lot of unexpected quirkiness blended with dark humor that's reminiscent of some of Kanye's early stuff. And best of all, it has the vibe a confident artist who's originality and skill show how the game should be played. NAW' MEAN?”

“This is definitely worth the download. You're in for some smooth vocals, unique beats, and some production that reminded me of the time when techno beats were all the rage. In "Fantastic," There's some great vocal work on display...really upbeat and youthful. It goes perfectly with some spacy synth, guitar flourishes, and an equally upbeat bass line. This reminds me of a Jackson Five song... "Mr. Heartbreaker" is super catchy, and almost instantly had me nodding my head, although the singing here isn't as great, and seems somewhat muffled and distorted. In "She's a Star," a slower but deliberate beat, along with some synth string in the background, although it does seem to blend together with the vocals. That's not necessarily a bad thing though- just don't ask me remember the lyrics The silky smooth vocals take center stage in "Shape of my Heart", backed up by a simple beat...guys, your girl's gonna love this. Definitely check this out (Although I wish the outro was a complete song...I wanted more!).”
