Aviator - Tell Me Why
Artist: Aviator
Producer: Mux Mool
Album: Thank You, Come Again Mixtape
Label: Base Trip Records
Do you like being asked rhetorical questions ? Of course you do – and, since that’s the case, you’ll doubtless enjoy Tell Me Why, the first Booth feature from up-and-coming emcee Aviator. On this cut, the lead single off the artist’s latest street album, producer Mux Mool serves up an intriguingly off-kilter, rock-influenced instrumental (complete with some fresh vocoder usage and enough cowbell to satisfy even Christopher Walken) as the Bostonian rapper bombards listeners with queries on the topic of his own greatness (expressing them as imperatives, if you want to split hairs). For those slow on the uptake, he offers an all-encompassing answer: “Imma really tell you why, young brother: I’m the one.” This Northeasterner’s wordplay and vocab are most definitely on point, but is his out-of-this-world confidence justified? No, really, I want you to respond to that one. Those who like what they’re hearing should check out Aviator’s new Thank You, Come Again mixtape, released last week and available now for free download from the artist’s Bandcamp page.

I have never been a big fan of emcees talking over the intro of their song (especially when its over a dope beat), but I'll let Aviator slide because I like this record a lot. I could see this starting a pretty decent-size bandwagon for him here in the Booth. His mic skills are on point, he has command of the record and its funky in a good way.

Might have to listen to another track from Aviator to fully jump on the bandwagon, but he's definitely one not to sleep on. Good work on the mic here

Man, I really have nothing to compare this to, and that's definitely a good thing. I'm not sure if the lyrics were fresh enough to push it to the next level, but the overall effect's pretty good. I'd take more.
p.s. - @The 149th is in a bad mood tonight.

i was cool with aviator going over the intro on this one, added to the track's appeal i reckon. definitely a great start to his hopefully lengthy booth career with this one.
