Arkansas Bo - Shine
Artist: Arkansas Bo
Producer: B. Keith
Album: The Notebook Mixtape
Label: Conduit Entertainment
Now would be a good time to slip on some shades, if you’ve got a pair handy. On his first solo feature, making its world premiere right here in the Booth, Suga City emcee Arkansas Bo Shines so brightly that onlookers risk temporary blindness. Got your protective eyewear on? Good. Here, the laid-back, string-sampled boardwork of B. Keith sets the stage for two verses’ worth of Southern-fried braggadocio. In addition to thoroughly cataloging his admirable qualities (“When it comes to rappin’ and pimpin’ I got crazy skills, plus I’m hella attractive…”) and affirming his ironclad dedication to the hustle, Bo fills inquiring minds in on his favorite color (it’s Navy blue). Topped off with guest vocals from Houston up-and-comer Big Keise, this radiant cut and much more can be found on The Notebook, a DJBooth.net/KevinNottingham-cosponsored street album inspired by the classic chick flick of the same name. Just kidding… or am I? I guess we’ll find out March 17. In the meantime, keep it locked to our front page for one more leak off the project.

Introductory tracks inside our Booth are EVERYTHING. As everyone knows first impressions are OH SO IMPORTANT and on his first solo feature Arkansas Bo sparkles.
This isn't a song you'll find on the radio or the club, and it certainly has a regional sound, but if you are a fan of hip hop and can appreciate music from any spot across the map I have a feeling you'll dig "Shine."

Dope. Again...I am biased, but before all that, I am a fan of good music. Bo can spit and the production is cool.

Rider music. Pure and simple.
However, I feel his delivery and intricate rhyme scheme take him a lil bit above and beyond the norm on this track. Anyway, he's fam, so I already know pimp music doesn't define him, so I look forward to when he can show and prove later when his project or other music drops. |

Man, I was digging this. Some real smoothed out Southern stuff, and Bo's smooth flow worked with the beat really well. Brought to mind some old school UGK ish, and that's always a good thing.

I had to look him up after listening to The Notebook, then I listened to the Suga City Mixtapes and I've come to a conclusion...
He's pretty damn dope |
