Ben-Sity - Could It Be
Artist: Ben-Sity
Producer: Xcel
Album: High Five Club
Label: Sity Enterprises
I hereby decree not only that the word ‘swagger’ has been banned from the hip-hop lexicon, but that the creator and all pushers of said word shall be sent into the farthest reaches of outer space. Cool? As a result, we might see Space, Rush and Sino – collectively know as Ben Sity – shooting for the stars on their thesis-driven new single, Could It Be. On top of the drum and bass-heavy work of producer Xcel’s bouncy beat, the childhood friends sound comfortable and adept at spitting rhymes, but seem to only aim for the moon as far as subject matter is concerned. While the record could be hit on a local scale, the Chicago quartet must take the lead of neighbors Mikkey Halsted and Bump J in regard to how not to position oneself in the forget-me-fast world of rap music. With The High Five Club coming out at the top of the year, this high-flying group may have swagger, but the question will remain – what else?

Good effort for the club, this might get some spins in the midwest, not really for me though. Verses are on point though, just a little iffy on the chorus.

Nope. Sounds so local. This guy is nothing special. The beat is eclectic....I'll give him that. But anything else...nope.

I co-sign EVERYTHING that my esteemed colleague, Kevin, wrote above. As a Chicagoan, I know Ben-Sity is capable of much much much... much... more. The production could work in the club, but music needs to be more expansive - especially when you are coming up in the game.

This track is so repetitive! I'm really feelin the energy that's in the beat but dude is annoyin as hell, he always raps in the same way. I don't like that background noise, either. I rate this a 2 coz I've heard worse, if I heard this song song in a club I would dance to it
