BLACWATER - The Truth
Producer: Draztik Beats
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: Unsigned
Update: Click “Listen Now” above to view Blacwater’s “The Truth” video.
You want The Truth, Booth readers? You can’t handle The Truth!! OK, OK, that was just me getting my Jack Nicholson on. In actuality, I can’t see why this cut, the first feature from emcee-producer duo BLACWATER, should be particularly hard to bear—unless you have a life-threatening allergy to quality beats and rhymes, in which case you’re hanging out at the wrong place altogether. For the rest, the new single should be a downright dope experience. The production half of the twosome, Johannesburg, South Africa’s Draztik Beats, takes a hard-hitting tack behind the boards, serving up a chopped soul-sample groove (complete with a hook sampling cinema classic A Few Good Men) as Swapmeet Ensemble emcee Silence DemALL bombards the beat with witty braggadocio. Bay Area mainstays Shark Sinatra and Balance take over on the back two-thirds, the former earning a blue ribbon for Best Simile with the hilarious, “Lames will never see me, I’m really like Freeway’s chin.” So, has The Truth set you free from the chains of, um, wack music? Then keep it locked for more enlightening tunes leading up to the release of BLACWATER’s yet untitled/unscheduled collaborative LP.

The movie is great, Jack is great, the line is great, and the song follows in these footsteps. Dope hip hip and a great musical meeting of the minds between Silence and Draztik.

I like the beat on here but it gets annoying after a few minutes... I'm not really feeling the flow of the rappers on here. Maybe the beat is making them rap this way, but to me this is just OK. I won't be listening to it again.

Solid track. It's nothing that will blow you away, but the production is solid and each emcee does a good job of complimenting the beat.

BLACWATER: employ "the phenome theory" to hip hop on this one: the basic sounds that distinguish real from fake. Draztik is a BEAst, SilenceDemAll does just that. #Truth
