B-Ezzy - Boogie Down
Artist: B-Ezzy
Producer: Johnny Juliano
Album: Well That Was Ezzy (The Mixtape)
Label: Hoopla Media Group/LRT
With his previous Booth features, the Slick Rick-inspired Million Bucks and exclusive freestyle Lights, Please, West Coast up-and-comer proved he could spit over old-school grooves and more modern material with equal dexterity. Now, however, comes the true test of his musical versatility: can he rock the club without compromising his unique style? Well… yeah. Judging by new single Boogie Down, he most definitely can. With the help of beatsmith Johnny Juliano, whose retro-informed funk-soul boardwork (sampled from Earth, Wind and Fire’s Let’s Groove) is sure to get bodies moving, the artist asks a fine female to step out onto the floor, and proceeds to cut a rug. Lyrically, Ezzy keeps things simple yet engaging, setting the scene with some vivid lyrical imagery in between testing out pickup lines on the aforementioned shawty. Crafting high-quality party music is no walk in the park, but B-Ezzy seems to have it down. If you’re digging this cut, you’re sure to find more to your liking on the artist’s DJ Ill Will, DJ Rockstar and The Empire-presented Well That Was Ezzy mixtape, due out Oct. 25.

Haha wow. An Earth, Wind and Fire sample. He doesn't disappoint tho. Johnny Juliano mixes it well. And maybe it's just me but this guy sounds alot like Wale.

The production from Juliano is the stand out element of the song, but all that means is that the emcee has to come strong or else it will be obvious where the song's downfall lies. Well, rest assured, that doesn't happen here. Ezzy does with the beat exactly what you'd expect (not too much, just enough) and the end result is a (short) banger.

Dope production and B-Ezzy came correct on this one. Really feelin this track minus the clubbing lyrics but you can't have it all.
