ArtOfficial - Three Four
Artist: ArtOfficial
Producer: ArtOfficial
Album: Vitamins & Minerals
Label: Unsigned
I won’t name names, but more than a decade ago (damnit, I’m getting old) I watched The Roots open for a big-name rapper, but when the aforementioned hit the stage he flopped like a European soccer player. The lesson? Once you’ve heard live, full band hip-hop everything else feels empty by comparison. The other lesson? Don’t invite ArtOfficial to open for you unless you’re really, really dope. I mean, who could follow something like the Miami Crew’s standout selection ThreeFour? ArtOfficial members Danny Perez, Ralf Valencia and Keith Cooper pick up their respective instruments and get to work, building a wide-ranging, impossible-to-label affair that will have even invertebrates nodding their heads. (Think it over.) Add in on point rhymes from group emcees Newsense and Logics and a revolutionarily uplifting message – “What it is and what it’s got to be / We ain’t no slaves to a prophecy” - and you’ve got a track worthy of busting out the nice headphones for. Speaking of which, ArtOfficial’s brand new album Vitamins & Minerals is available right now for free stream and direct purchase via The DJBooth.

If you love hip hop and live instrumentation, ArtOfficial are a beautiful marriage of the two. This type of material is best appreciated in a live setting and not out of computer or smart phone speakers, but on any level its still a joy to listen to.

Love the vibe on this song. The band is killing... You really dont even have to rap on this and it'll be a dope track. But ArtOfficial did his thing on this.

The production on here is OK. It's not really my type of beat but I can dig it. They can flow pretty good to the beat that they created too, but at the end of the day its not something I'll be playing over and over.

To me the thing is you've got to be able to appreciate the musicality here. Theres a lot more going on than your average sample hip hop beat. The soli though the end of the tune is incredible. This is something I'll play for years to come
