BenniB - Start Me Up
Artist: BenniB
Producer: The Kickdrums
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Unsigned
BenniB‘s first feature, I Won’t Crash, found the up-and-comer adapting the parable of the Prodigal Son for the modern age, demonstrating how a young man’s determination to live for today almost left him without a tomorrow. Don’t get it twisted, though - despite his suspicion of the fast life, the Seattle representative does know how to have a good time. In fact, judging by new promo single Start Me Up (making its world premiere right here in the DJBooth), the Seattle rhymesayer’s inner party animal was just waiting for its chance to get out. Cleveland beat crew The Kickdrums live dangerously on the production tip, flipping a sample from The Rolling Stones’ 1981 smash of the same title into a raucous backdrop for Benni’s chronicles of weed and liquor-fueled revelry. Throughout his verses, the rhymesayer manages to name-drop a veritable Greatest Hits collection of Stones classics—if you catch all 11 song/album titles (without recourse to Wikipedia), consider yourself a rock scholar. This joint isn’t attached to any forthcoming project, but those digging it can hear more on debut mixtape Journal of a Journey, released last November.

Older rock samples and new school raps can either create an amazing dynamic or an awful experience for the listener. If this BenniB record was on a scale, it would be closer to the former. The most memorable aspect of the record is the classic production from the Stones, but if you can get past the iconic sample you'll find a confident, fun loving emcee.

Too much for the rock in this track but some how it seems to be liked by people over 35 y.o. ,who i exposed. The rest just works well along but once in a while would do
