Ashton Travis ft. Ashley Joy Scretchen & Talibah Safiyah - Lookin’ out the Window

Ashton Travis - Lookin' out the Window

Producer: Gym Krow

Album: Good Vibes

Label: Unsigned

While most people diligently try to keep their personal, professional and social lives separate, the distinction tends to disintegrate when sh*t hits the fan in one of the aforementioned arenas; just ask Ashton Travis, whose Booth debut, mixtape standout Lookin’ out the Window, finds the rapper/singer/songwriter struggling to keep his focus in the wake of a nasty breakup: “When I’m standing on the stage and all I see is eyes, I think about her name and all I see is lies.” Gym Krow, producer of K. Sparks’ Kickin Rhymes, works his magic behind the boards, cooking up a lush, vintage-soul arrangement that—along with Travis’ prodigious vocal chops—could fool the unwary listener into thinking this is a straight-up R&B song. When he does get around to rapping, however, his laid-back and conversational flows prove no less smooth that his singing. Lending a hand on the guest tip are not one but two guest vocalists: Ashley Joy Scretchen lends her pipes to the intro, while Talibah Safiyah assists on the chorus. Digging it? Plenty more breezy freshness awaits on Ashton Travis’ Good Vibes mixtape, released in May.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11684	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Ashton Travis popped up on our radar thanks to producer Omen. After a few collaborations I knew that I needed to dig into his newest release and see what I could find. The result? "Lookin Out the Window." Nice diverse set of skills on display and a real smooth listen. This is something a yesteryear Common would have been all over. Follow @DJBooth

Lucas G. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 702	Rating: Lucas G.'s Top Rated Songs Really enjoyed this track. So smooth and laid back. It reminded me a little of Outkast, I couldn't help but think of Andre when I heard Travis spit. Really feeling the vibe of this song.
