Chris Reg - Follow The Leader [Online Premiere]
Producer: AURC [of DPF]
Album: DJBooth.net Exclusive
Label: M.A.S.H Music
Judging by his work as one half of M.A.S.H., the Newark twosome who brought us Autotune-heavy club cut We Run This and reader-acclaimed ladies’ jam Key to the City, readers might be inclined to think of Chris Reg as a trendy new-schooler, but that’s only part of the story; as the emcee reveals on his first solo feature (making its online premiere right here at DJBooth.net), he would rather blaze his own trail to musical success than contort his style to fit into any school. Instructing his peers to “Follow the Leader,” Reg strikes out on a lyrically-driven exploration of the music industry. Over AURC‘s organ-sampling groove (garnished with some odd but catchy vocal snippets), the rapper showcases his Brand New Vintage swag (thanks, Young Son), spitting insightful verses so packed with clever punchlines and knotty rhymes that it’s hard to pick just one line to quote. Whether you prefer lyrical acrobatics or pop-friendlier fare, Reg has got you covered; keep it locked to the Booth for more from the emcee, both solo and accompanied by M.A.S.H. partner in rhyme Mayday.

I liked this. The production was pretty tight and he sounded good. I like the topic. Can go into rotation.

I'm surprised by this. I like the old school vibe, but i love the lyricism. He has some nice metaphors and similies, and he tells a good story. My question is: why can't he bring some of this great lyricism into his more modern-sounding tracks?

FOLLOW THE LEADER is a record you will either enjoy or not enjoy. Yeah, I know, that is the case with most records. However, this one has no middle ground. Either you appreciate witty lines and a tightly-packed flow, or you don't. This is a rather stoic change up from his work with MASH, so its refreshing to hear the versatility.
Rotation.

Not a bad overall result but this song didn't catch me. The music is good and he's got a decent flow but I don't like his voice

Lets give credit where credit is do. Nice concept, strong flow, he nailed the 3 p's of a strong vocal (Pitch, Pocket, Passion), tight lyrically (Listen closely) good hook, and the beat is straight hip hop. And I haven't heard anything else quite like it = BANGER

I didn't think I'd like it at first but its a quality song. Beat was fresh at first but got a little boring. His flow is what made me really enjoy it. Nothing to really make it amazing, but NOTHING to make it bad either. In rotation.
