Bishop Lamont - Grow Up
Artist: Bishop Lamont
Producer: Dr. Dre
Album: The Reformation
Label: Diocese
How many times have you seen a grandfather with corn-rows or a PTA member in a compromising photo posted on MySpace? Bishop Lamont has seen it all. And frankly, he’s tired of these individuals. No stranger to our Booth, Lamont goes featureless over a Dr. Dre beat on Grow Up. As the first single off his forthcoming debut, the record speaks directly to anyone who is… well… immature. Going in a completely different direction from DJ Khalil’s rock-rap flair on City Lights, Dre provides a classic, bumpable and uncomplicated Cali low-rider beat, perfect for driving by wankstas who are at the bus stop fully dressed in D&G. Bishop’s debut LP, The Reformation, is set to be released this winter.
This song first appeared on the

West Coast!!! Bishop Lamont did his thing over this classic beat. I always thought he sounded like 50 too. Now 50 probably wish he sounded like Lamont

Crazy ass beat from Dr. Dre!!! Is he EVER gonna drop Detox??? Damn. I haven't heard much of Lamont, but he tears this song up. Ozzylee, I'm not hearing the 50 comparison. If anything, he sounds like Red Cafe. This track would bump up to instant classic with a remix verse from Dre himself, or even The Game...........or both!

Bisoph will be inside the Booth next week talking about Detox, his new album and much more. This is only a sampling of what this man has in store for us all. I'd be extremely happy if you are a west coast music fan.

When listening to his other songs, I never thought Bishop Lamont lived up to his potential. This song just proves me wrong. I don't wanna say too much because he said it...

Okay as everyone noted this is a beat from the Doctor. But what the hell you doing producing this beat?? Shouldn't you be working on DETOX!? Anyways. Once again the beat is tight and straight Westcoast. The lyrics are on point along with his flow. The Chorus however could be alot better. Its real annoying how he keeps saying "up up up up". But I can kinda live with that. BANGER!!
