Al Gator - Feelin It
Artist: Al Gator
Producer: Focus
Album: Chronicles of the Underboss
Label: Underboss/a.Fam Ent.
DNA’s hit remix of Suzanne Vega cut Tom’s Diner has already inspired three reader-acclaimed jams: posthumously-released 2Pac track Dopefiend’s Diner, Mike Dreams’ Tha Diner, and Gorilla Zoe‘s On the Corner. Those are three tough acts to follow, but Booth newcomer Al Gator knows he’s up to the challenge—on his new single/”hood national anthem,” the College Park up-and-comer teams up with Aftermath beatsmith Focus to flip that “Dat da da da, dat-da da da” chorus into a track so fresh even the most jaded listeners will be Feelin’ It. Superimposing the sample over simmering synths and hard-hitting percussion, Focus provides a booming backdrop for Gator’s lyrical stunting. While the emcee rhymes revolve largely around the time-tested topics of cash, women, and street cred, his bouncy but aggressive flow sounds right at home over the stomp-clap rhythm, and the Biggie-sampling hook is sure to score this track extra points in the Booth. If you like what you’re hearing, stay tuned for release details on Al Gator’s forthcoming Chronicles of the Underboss LP.

This sample has been so overused lately (Gorilla Zoes song with Sean Kingston, Drake's "Juice", and now this). But I've gotta say, this is easly the best! Production was bananas on here and this Al Gator dude was fresh on the mic. Flow was on point and the overall track crisp. This sh*t was fresher than a ziploc bag.

Can you go wrong sampling Suzanne Vega and Biggie in the same song? I don't think so. The samples alone get you a 3 in my book, but the flow here by newcomer Al bumps it up to a 4.

This is alright,Drake's "Juice" is hot, but nobody can even get close to Pac's version!! When i heard Pac's version i was amazed how he painted such a clear picture of the story behind the song!!

It has lots of different elements to it. Some are working in favor while others seems forced, but the primary element that makes it worth-it is it's listening appeal. Case in point, the sum is definitely greater than its parts ... Rotation fa sho!

Hip-Hop History kids...Nikki D on Def Jam used the sample 1st on the classic Daddy's Little Girls. Lesson over. I'm feeling this. This would definitely get the club jumpin' instantly so it got to be in rotation.
