Bekay - I Am
Artist: Bekay
Featuring: DJ Revolution
Producer: Alchemist
Album: Hunger Pains
Label: Deer Studio Records
“I Am hip-hop,” is a lofty claim, but Bekay‘s clearly got the skills and the historical perspective to back it up. The up-and-comer’s Masta Ace-assisted Booth debut found him bridging the gap between Brooklyn’s past and present. On the newly-released lead single off his forthcoming full-length, he broadens his focus to encompass the entirety of hip-hop, name-dropping everyone and everything from Run-DMC and Cool Herc to Starter hats and gold chains over The Alchemist‘s glittering, brass-punctuated piano-loop. DJ Revolution complements Bekay’s stream of hip-hop signifiers with a sampled hook, working his magic on quotables from classic cuts by Das Efx, Stetsasonic, Common and Dead Prez. Those who were around to watch hip-hop develop into the cultural phenomenon it is today will undoubtedly appreciate the trip down Memory Lane, and the younger set may even learn a thing or two from Bekay’s whirlwind tour – what’s not to like? Those craving more can have their fill Nov. 11, when Hunger Pains hits online retailers and record stores everywhere.

Tight, haven't heard much from Bekay, other than his last feature on booth but gotta say dude got skills, nice flow and dense similes/metaphors laced verses and proves that he is well worthy of a sick! piano-loop driven Alchemist production. And DJ Revolution on turntables was a pleasant side order ... BANGER!!!
