At first glance, the title of Baltimore up-and-comer 810‘s second Booth feature seems a little… contradictory. Though the rapper claims to be a Glass Half Full kind of guy, dropping a single called U Wont Like This is pretty much as pessimistic as it gets—what gives? Well, in addition to being a clever bit of reverse psychology, the title ties into the record’s central theme: self-doubt. Backed by Pay Day producer Mydus’ sample of ‘90s girl group SWV’s Think You’re Gonna Like It, 810 segues from the heart-pounding prospect of approaching a beautiful woman to the equally nervewracking pressure that comes with exposing one’s artistic vision to public scrutiny and possible ridicule, explaining that, though he’s perfectly confident in his abilities, there’s always that little voice in the back of his mind whispering, “What if the haters are right?” If you’ve ever risked looking ridiculous in pursuit of a dream, you’re sure to identify with the feeling described here, and if you haven’t, well, that feeling is probably why you haven’t. Regardless, I think a lot of Booth readers will like this—if you do, it’s a good bet you’ll find even more to like on Glass Half Full, set to drop in late July/early August.

The title of this song couldn't be more the opposite of how I feel about it. From the sample, to the mix, to the overall old school vibe... love it.

The old school vibe is crazy on here. Dude sounds a bit like Juelz but wow, very impressive. I downloaded this the minute I heard it and can't wait to play it at my crib later.

I haven't heard any new material quite like this in a while. It's a great concept, which creates a real track. This man's flow and subject matter is real cool. The production works well wit the vibe on the tracks, and that's one of the best fitting samples on a hook that I've heard in a while. I'll be looking out for more from this cat.

I'm telling you; 810 is coming with the real. If you can't see that, then that's on you.
