While today’s Booth lineup offers no shortage of upbeat, encouraging tunes (see Pugs Atomz’ live-with-no-regrets cut Faded and Parable‘s grind-chronicling That Feelin’), it’s been a minute since we’ve heard a straight-up motivational anthem. Here to fill that niche is Booth newcomer Bryant Dope with new single Live for Your Dreams. Previously featured on the Auto-Tune-drenched Dancing on Me, DJ Webstar stays behind the boards here, crafting a sweeping, alt-rock-informed instrumental as the rapper delivers his inspirational bars. On the back end, BK vet Talib Kweli takes center stage for a characteristically impressive guest verse, peppering his bars with intricate lines like opening couplet “Rollin’ through the back streets like I got beef / A carnival for the carnivores with the sharp teeth.” A sadly unknown female vocalist (can anyone I.D. her?) completes the lineup, contributing a powerful bridge and chorus. Like what you’re hearing? Keep it locked – Bryant Dope has yet to announce details on the project to which this track is attached, but we’ll be sure to bring you all the latest!

A surprising (and welcome) introduction to Mr. Dope (no really, that is his alias last name). I mean, what does it say about you when Talib Kweli agrees to jump on a record (assuming his verse wasn't bought off the rap black market for $1500 haha)?

And while we are asking rhetorical questions (and by we I mean me), who knew that Webstar could produce records like this? Why didn't he ever drop a song with his own anthemic production backing it? Ahh, who knows?

Very good introduction to Mr. Dope. I must say if an artist will pick his alias name with the word "dope" in it, he better come correct on the mic and behind the boardwork. Adding Talib for a guest verse and the female vocals for the hook was a smart move. Everything here works.

this is a superb introduction. everybody has already mentioned bryant's talent on the mic (which by itself is already a 4), but when you add on a verse by the talented talib, a great beat from dj webstar along with that great hook and bridge from the stunning female (if only we knew who she was), you get a classic i think. welcome mr. dope

Only listened to this because of Kweli, and he was the best part of this song.

I listened to this song for a week straight and still find myself scolling back to hear it
Production is tight, Kwali is always flowing and he hook is off the chain
