4th Pyramid - So Balboa
Artist: 4th Pyramid
Featuring: Saukrates
Producer: Rich Kidd
Album: The Pyramid Scheme
Label: Silk Ivory/Lyrics To Go/Universal Music
A troubled Army vet who, haunted by memories of his brutal torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese, channeled his aggression into becoming a champion boxer, Rocky Balboa exemplifies the fighting spirit that hip-hop artists seek to—what’s that? I’m conflating Sylvester Stallone’s two most famous roles? Actually the shoe fits; introducing himself to the Booth with new single So Balboa (an exclusive world premiere!), 4th Pyramid is equal parts scrappy underdog and brutal mic-murderer. With Rich Kidd‘s stomp-clap rhythm banging in the back, the Toronto rhymesayer weaves a lyrical web of cultural allusions, illustrating his drive to conquer the game with reference to everyone and everything from Gordon Gekko to Michael Jackson‘s Blood on the Dancefloor. Complete with a determination-drenched chorus by fellow T-Dot repper Saukrates, this cut is just one of many quality jams to be found on The Pyramid Scheme, scheduled to hit record stores and online retailers March 13.

Canada is so much more than Drake and Ginger Ale. Welcome to the Booth, 4th.

Could do without the "I go hard"... but this record knocks! Nothing new thematically, but it's definitely something I'd rock again.

I love the production. Lyrically its not game changing but he holds it down over the beats.
