Ali Vegas considers himself a spokesperson for hip-hop’s younger generation, in part due to the industry politics he has suffered through for years.  Following up his last Booth feature, That’s Nothing, the Queens native puts in a good word for his peers on perhaps his deepest song to date.  Speaking to an older, jaded audience, who would hate on his lifestyle and/or music (and that of other similarly-aged artists), Vegas says, Excuse Me. Assisted with background vocals by R&B singer Shiré (whose controversial single I Used to LovHer was recently featured on DJBooth) and produced by Rico & Pres, Excuse Me should be a listeners’ favorite and an inspiration to fellow artists on the grind.

Not feeling this one. Im sure there wil be some who dissagree, but the production is just average to me. The guy has some skills but theres nothing just jumps out to me on this joint and makes me say "Wow". The verses drag on and the lyrics kind of get crammed together. Passing on this one, I cannot vibe with this here.

I'm definitely loving the production. I've heard it samples so much, but this is hot. I like Ali's mellow style. The introspective flow reminds me of a Lupe Lite.

Human Evolution! I dig the concept. Ali put some serious thought into this. I love how mc's are tring to use their heads these days. (Thanks Lupe) This is good. The production is a sample used also in a lupe song (speaking of him) called Coulda been which is a song every one must hear! So go DL that one! In the meantime this was good. I enjoyed it.

He raps really good but the production is weak. A flow like his would need more energy...the background sample isn't bad at all but I just feel it's not suitable to his voice! It's ok

Man, do I want Ali to catch a break. His people told us that his album would tentatively drop early next year. Maybe more cuts like this could help that tentative go away? Nice delivery, creative concept, and okay production.
