Arkansas Bo - Party and Bulls#@t
Artist: Arkansas Bo
Producer: Kory "K-Dub" Williams
Album: Skill Zone
Label: Conduit Entertainment
You’d be hard-pressed to convince the 9.6% of Americans who are currently out of work that unemployment is actually a good thing but, on his latest mixtape leak (making its world premiere right here in the Booth), Southern buzzmaker (and freestyle series alum) Arkansas Bo convincingly argues that it has its perks: no boss to answer to, you can sleep as late as you want and, best of all, you can Party and Bulls#@t to your heart’s content. Inspired, of course, by Biggie‘s ‘93 classic, this laid-back banger finds Kory “K-Dub” Williams’ serving up a chill jazz-keyboard backdrop as the Suga City rapper explains why, when he got laid off, he wasn’t all that upset. On the middle, Bo engages in some strategizing that should ring familiar to anyone who’s struggled to balance the desire to get tipsy with being “broke as sh*t”: “Let’s see, $10 to get in, and $12 at the bar… I can do that, I’ll put this vodka in the trunk of my car.” Digging this glass-half-full take on joblessness? Keep it locked for one more leak leading up to the November 22, release of Bo’s latest street album, the Kevin Nottingham/DBooth.net-sponsored Skill Zone.

"Party and Bulls#@t" is a humorous and interesting take on the unemployment issues in our country at the moment. Its takes a charismatic emcee to discuss this in his music and come across as likable and Bo certainly succeeds in that area. At times the record gets stagnant, but between Bo's vocals and the solid production there is plenty to like here.

Bo is one of those rare truly honest mc's out there today. in hip hop how many rappers are comfortable talking about how bad their economic situation is? i promise you its way less than the numbers whose economic situation is actually bad...track is dope..lyrics are dope...yep...i am biased, but hey...still honest.

Um...not sure about all the 5's. I think i'm gonna lean more to Z's side here. I mean this is an decent track, but nothing special. It's definitely not a classic.

Really feeling the production on this one. There are a lot of instruments used - sounds like something you would hear in a Jazz club. Bo sounds good over it, although he looses the flow a bit in the second verse. The hook could also use some work.

Oh man, this is the best song I've heard today!! His voice over these beats and the humor mix of the lyrics goes excellent together with the bluesy vibe.
