Al-J - Cold Blooded
Artist: Al-J
Featuring: Keith Murray , Reef the Lost Cauze
Producer: Falside
Album: Blak Carrington
Label: Leedz Edutainment
Ever seen a snake or a turtle lying on the pavement, soaking up heat in order to regulate its body temperature? Well, the same principle applies to gangsters—as cold-blooded individuals, they find a natural habitat in the sweltering city streets. As evidence for my admittedly far-fetched theory of criminology, I present the latest single and first Booth feature from AL-J. On this hard-nosed banger, a string-laced sample by Falside (who flips a sample from N.W.A.‘s Gangster Gangster on the hook) bumps in the background as the Boston repper and a couple cohorts demonstrate why they’re the most ruthless motherf*ckers on their block. Def Squad alum Keith Murray heads off the pack with a creatively grisly opener, posing the rhetorical question, “Why would I go for any disrespect when I could put a bloody vagina on the side of your neck?” before passing the mic to the headliner for a lyrically agile middle 16. Philly’s Reef the Lost Cauze rounds out the lineup, showing off his slightly rusty Español on the back: “El d*ck hang down to es ankles.” If this lead single has you craving more, be sure to cop Al’s free album, Blak Carrington, when it drops June 28.

I knew Falside could produce (search his name above for proof), but I didn't know anything about Al-J. Well, suffice to say, things have changed after this one. The production complements all of the emcees, reminding us all how dope Keith Murray once was (welcome back, Mr. Murray) and how dope Reef has always been. This BANGS.

I'm so glad I listened to this after the Game track featured. It helped wash out the taste. Great track. Love how raw and gritty it is. Reef kills it.

"Why would I go for any kind of disrespect when I can put a bloody vagina on the side of your neck" The chorus lives up to its statement.
