Bekay - Brooklyn Bridge
Artist: Bekay
Producer: DJ Babu
Album: Hunger Pains
Label: Deer Studio Records
As one of the foremost hip-hop hotspots in (arguably) the biggest hip-hop city on the face of this Earth, Brooklyn’s birthed so many rap icons that listing them all off would take this entire track review and then some. On his latest single (and Booth debut), Brooklyn Bridge, underground emcee BeKay joins forces with veteran rapper Masta Ace to pay tribute to the borough that made him the man and the artist he is today. DJ Babu backs the underground up-and-comer and his legendary collaborator’s gritty yet affectionate lyrical depictions of life, love, music, and crime in their home streets with a fittingly nostalgia-drenched instrumental, fusing vocal samples from MC Lyte’s I Cram 4 U and Marly Marl & MC Shan’s Queensbridge-dedicated, KRS-baiting The Bridge into a Brooklyn-boosting hook. Brimming with classic NYC flavor, this cut can be found on the emcee’s Hunger Pains LP, set to drop November 10th. In the meantime, keep an eye out for BeKay’s Booth-exclusive freestyle, premiering after our series resumes in September.

This has a very cool old-school/new-school "bridging the gap" feel (no pun intended). BeKay gets across what he wants to say very well, and is not overshadowed or outshined by the legendary Masta Ace.
Props to Babu on the excellent production work.

From the piano chords repeatedly playing in the background and the scratching on the hook..this has that true East Coast sound! The lyrics are on point from both BeKay and Masta Ace. Solid track!

Love it! Feel Good East Coast music. Masta Ace keep um comming. Make music fam!!! If you don't know bout Masta ace, its only cause you didn't know he made "those" songs, cause trust me, you've heard um. " sittin on Chrome" "The I.N.C Ride" "Born to roll". Those are WEST, yes WEST COAST CLASSICS. He is royalty out here, and most of us don't even know him.

DJ Babu displays fine form, concocting beat that is alternately bombastic and understated and everything in between, and tying it all together with his usual immaculate sample work and the way he weaves one song into the next and mixes it all in with snappy scratches. Then on top of that, you got some tight verses by both MC’s ... BANGER!!!

A track inspired straight from the streets from where the artist is from, coupled with a lengendary artist of his time and old school hip hop production with the anthem, this track speaks for its self
