A common practice for underground artists looking to get their music heard on a mainstream level, is to spend a big wad of cash to secure a guest verse from a nationally-known MC. In keeping with that strategy, underground Bostonian, Affiliate, locked up D-Block‘s Sheek Louch for the new single Dope Boy For Real. Unfortunately, collaborations like this often result in audiences only checking for the popular guest feature, and in this case, Sheek Louch and producer/collaborator J. Cardim truly shine. Nevertheless, Affiliate shot a video for the song (on location in his city, as well as Sheek’s Yonkers neighborhood), and hopes to prove he has the drive to turn a small feature into “major-without-a-major-deal” status (hello, Bake Up Boyz).
Boston is on the rise. I have been waiting for a very longtime--about 22 years--for hip-hop cats in Boston to get some national exposure. Boston is the most underrated city when it comes to Hip-Hop. Yes we had Ben Affleck, Marky Mark, Tom Brady, and Bobby Brown but we needed more. I don't think we will be able to compete with other East Coast cities yet, but we need to establish a strong foundation. This beat is outrageous. Sheek handles his business on this track. Affiliate is not bad.
DAMN! SHEEK goes hard on this one! Sick beat! STREET $hit Certified right here! Affiliate lays it down on here. Never heard of him before but he can spit! In the words of My DUDE Max B..."This $hit is Wavy...Owwww!"
I agree w/ 7574Lyfe, the hook is kinda annoying, but overall it is ok. I'll throw it in rotation, but I'm not sure how long it'll stay there!
