Ahmad - I'ma Emcee [Premiere]
Artist: Ahmad
Producer: Ahmad & KP
Album: The Death of Me
Label: WeCLAP
There’s something to be said for stating the obvious – at least when the obvious is being stated in the form of a fresh new record from Ahmad, making its world premiere right here in the Booth. On the final leak off his forthcoming comeback LP, the West Coast vet who recently brought us Get Some Money and Go to Jail tells the world “I’ma Emcee” and goes on to prove that assertion beyond the shadow of a doubt. Over an infectiously bouncy beat co-produced by the artist and KP, the South Central native takes a trip down Memory Lane, recounting how he “fell in love with hip-hop” in engagingly-flowed verses. Of course, he’s not only an emcee and a producer – to top it all off, the artist laces the chorus with sung vocals even smoother than those he showcased Back in the Day. Digging this upbeat track? You can hear more on The Death of Me, dropping tomorrow (August 10) along with this record’s official video accompaniment. In addition, fans will be able to catch Ahmad, along with TiRON and Tanya Morgan, at a Booth-sponsored showcase to take place in L.A. later this month – keep it locked for further details!

I liked "Get Some Money and Go to Jail," but I enjoy this much much better. Ahmad showcases all three of his musical skills on the ironically titled "I'ma Emcee," and doesn't fail in any capacity. I can see some listeners not enjoying his rapping vocals, but musically things just click.

The production and hook were nice. I thought Ahmad relied too much on his cool-sounding voice to carry the verses, and let the substance diminish. I'll keep an eye out for him though.

I actually had the opportunity to take to Ahmad the other day (name drop) and he's a fascinating man with a fierce intelligence and extensive knowledge of hip-hop, all qualities you can hear here. The flow's nice, plus you have to give the man extra points for the jazzy/gospel production and the decent hook. Consider me a huge fan.
