Ah, Sunday; no alarm to wake you up in the morning, nowhere you need to be, and nothing to do but lay around till Saturday night’s hangover fades away (Unless you’re a churchgoer… or a DJBooth staff member – those track reviews don’t write themselves!). And, whenever you feel ready to face the day, you call up a few friends, hop into your whip and enjoy a leisurely Sunday Drive. On the latest feature from Black EL, a newly-remixed version of a cut off his latest full-length, beatsmith Durkin ‘s head-noddable synth-percussion beat (retained from the original) sets a laid-back mood as EL waxes poetic about the joys of rolling through his neighborhood on a lazy afternoon. Freestyle series contributor El Prez rides shotgun, vibing out to some Camp Lo and Wiz Khalifa on verse two, and rapper-producer 6th Sense (also a freestyle alum) brings the record to a strong finish, breaking a few traffic laws as he searches the airwaves for something non-Autotuned. Like what you’re hearing? You can find the original version of this laid-back banger and much more on EL’s Color Commentary LP, released last August and available now online.

Interesting mix of artists featured on this "Sunday Drive" remix. Each emcee has a style that fits the Durkin production, but the songs lack cohesion. Sadly, this is part of the gift/curse of Email/ProTools sessions in the current day in age. If you dig the dope hook, though, you probably laugh at my pickiness.

Not bad, everyone on the mic came correct but the production wasn't my favorite. The hook was easily the highlight but it's good to hear a different kind of sounding hip hop now and then.

That beat's just as dope as the first time I heard it, and every emcee here really delivers. I have to hand El Prez top honors, but that's not a knock on El or 6th.
Boston stand up. |

Nasty beat. The rest is solid, but not significant.
