Though Amiyj owes as much to Jay-Z and Nas as any NYC rapper, he sets himself apart from the pack with an R&B, rock ‘n’ roll, and alternative-influenced style that’s more gentleman than gangsta. On Velour, the up-and-comer’s first Booth feature, Amiyj employs a wordplay style halfway between Hova and Kanye—it’ll take at least three listens to catch every punchline he spits here. Bezo exhibits the telltale signs of ‘Ye-itis on the production tip; his sampled horn-percussion groove is reminiscent of past Mr. Carter-Mr. West collaborations (Heart of the City springs to mind). Though the rapper’s debut album has yet to receive a title or release date, it’s jams like this one that turn industry tastemakers’ heads. Amiyj, if you’re reading this, how about spitting a few bars for our exclusive freestyle series?

I like this. I can see Jay spittin on this beat, but Amiyj (how might one promounce that???) holds his own on here. Rotation.

A solid record for Amiyj, who has been trying to get a feature slot at the Booth for a few months. His delivery is on point and the production goes great with his vocals.
Yo Charm, is it necessary to put down other feature artists in every single feedback thread? Probably not.

Features a good beat by Bezo but the polished flow and verbal wit of Amiyj's rap is what really make me like the song ... Rotation.

This is solid. It's more about Amiyj's flow rather than production. I hear the comparisons as well to Jay and Nas. I'm with Charm, after hearing those wack ass songs from Paysoz and Snoop, this sounds so much better.
