Ali Vegas - If I ft. Goldenchyl
Artist: Ali Vegas
Producer: J. Nice
Album: Generation Gap 2: The Prequel
Label: ABP MUSIC
Those who follow underground emcee Ali Vegas know that the Jamaica, Queens native is not afraid to get serious – his last Booth feature, It’s So Hard, discussed the gritty realities of life on the streets, and a newly-released mixtape record finds him forging ahead into even more melancholy territory. On If I, Vegas tackles the tough existential questions that plague regular individuals struggling to keep faith during difficult times. Over a somber, acoustic guitar-laced beat by J. Nice, he places listeners in the shoes of a worker in the World Trade Center on 9/11, and later those of a soldier on the front lines in Iraq, reaching out to those searching for spiritual sustenance in a world where life can seem tragically cheap. Portland, Jamaica-bred singer/songwriter/producer Goldenchyl contributes a plaintive, reggae-tinged hook on which he looks to the Lord to guide him through his trials and tribulations. If I is a potential single choice off Vegas’s Generation Gap 2: The Prequel mixtape, which is available now at select stores and online retailers.

I haven't heard anything from this guy since "It's Nothing". This has a fresh sounds to it. I like the J.Nice production. I know some cats personally who have worked with him...good dude. Ali Vegas' flow is nice. This is the first time I've heard him on a slower joint. I like the content and the entire feel. The hook rocks nicely. Positive vibes! You know Young Son always cosigned positivity! 4 stars.

pretty23, maybe you should chill out. MH can say what he wants. Just because he's feelin this joint and you aren't doesn't mean you gotta call him out.
But my $.02, I can throw this one in the rotation. It's nothing crazy, but that's not what this one is about. Listen to what he's sayin, good message. |

Ali is constantly underrated. He is by no means a favorite emcee of mine - but whenever I hear his work, I am intrigued.
I am pleased to see members express their REAL emotions about the music that we feature. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but in the end, lets all respect the work that these artists deserve for producing a product.

This is great! His flow perfectly fits the beat and the music, which is super. The hook is excellent, when the hook is good to me the track is already half good. Banger!
