Azeem ft. Carlos St. John - Hurricanes + Tornadoes

Azeem - Hurricanes + Tornadoes

Artist: Azeem

Producer: Azeem

Album: Untitled (TBD)

Label: Unsigned

Hip-hop’s unofficial motto is “scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” Or more specifically, sing the hook on my single and I’ll rap on yours. That was (apparently) the arrangement between Carlos St. John and Azeem. After Carlos grabbed Azeem’s instantly distinctive voice for his Here We Are he returns the favor to his Jersey compatriot by throwing down a verse on Azeem’s stormy solo DJBooth debut, Hurricanes + Tornadoes. The headliner himself throws down on the production tip, quickly flipping a chopped-n-screwed vocal sample into an uptempo, rock guitar tinged beat that easily propels St. John’s emotional 16. But it’s Azeem’s vocals that truly stand out as he traverses the constantly shifting beat; he’s got one of those voices that doesn’t hit every note perfectly, and that’s exactly why it’s so compelling. Or at least I put this one on repeat; does DJBooth Nation agree or disagree? While we’re not yet sure where Hurricanes + Tornadoes will touch down, those looking for more from Azeem can simply keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest artist updates.

F**king awesome. Azeem's vocals really carry the record well... and that is impressive considering his smashingly catchy production chops (which he obviously catered perfectly to his own vocal arrangements - it totally helps when you can do both, eh?). Carlos' 16 was solid, but I'd love to hear an artist like Jon Hope on this record. Either way, impressed.
