Can a hip-hop act remain dope while setting a good example for their youngest fans? Lyriq and Commando of Disturbing tha Peace twosome B.X.C. think so and, on this newly-leaked mixtape cut (making its world premiere right here in the Booth!), they set out to prove it, offering a piece of advice listeners of all ages would do well to heed: “Look both ways before you Cross the Street,” because what’s on the other side is never important enough to put your life on the line. Dual Chicago/Atlanta representative 4-Ize steps up to the mic to deliver a closing verse over beatsmith Omen‘s spacey, slightly ominous piano-synth-harp arrangement, steering the track into more allegorical territory: “Captivated, not lookin’, chasin’ booty in the limelight/ I was jaywalking one night and got sideswiped...” A catchy, lyrically driven cut with a message we can all take to heart, Cross the Street can be found on B.X.C.‘s DJBooth.net-hosted Off the Leash mixtape, set to drop next Tuesday, December 15.

Love the xylophone, Omen. That is the first thing I appreciated about this record. The second? The opportunity to premiere it of course.
Solid mixtape track from two of DTP's newcomers!

Like the look DTP! This was a little reminiscing of Playaz Circle, especially with the cold flow. The lyrics were very different though, so I shuldn't make that comparison. I didn't really get with this one, but I have confidence their other work will impress me.

Love it when producers get creative and bring new instruments in. BXC is gonna blow up (hopefully anyway). All of their mixtapes have been good so far and for a mixtape track, this is pretty tight.

One of the weaker BXC tracks that I've heard. I prefer them on faster beats. I enjoyed hearing 4-Ize on this; not because his verse was that great but because I'm glad to see him working with DTP. I never understood why they never signed him; hasn't he been with Luda since 2000?
The chorus here is the weakest aspect. Verses are impressive and I can vibe to the beat but the chorus holds this back from a 4. |

A good thought-out theme but they slightly failed in executing it. Hook is written well, but the way its delivered... nah, just ain't cuttin. Still, Rotation fa sho!

Like the laid back vibe on the production, but BXC's vocals are delivered too harshly, they clash rather than contrast. I'm not saying they should have whispered, but some smoother flows would have gone a long way. Good, not great.
