Chris Webby - Go Back
Artist: Chris Webby
Featuring: OnCue
Producer: Hannibal King
Album: Teenage Mutant Ninja Rapper
Label: Unsigned
In the hip-hop world, rags-to-riches stories sell, and it’s relatively rare that a rapper will admit to a happy, comfortable childhood. Booth newcomer Chris Webby, however, is hardly your typical rapper. As the Connecticut native explains on this mixtape cut, he liked being a kid so much that he often wishes he could hop in a time machine and Go Back to those carefree years. Over Life’s Too Short beatsmith Hannibal King‘s wistful, soul-sampling boardwork, Webby revisits his salad days, waxing poetic about such simple pleasures as light-up sneakers, Tamagotchis and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (pogs, surprisingly enough, don’t make an appearance). Topped off with a closing verse by fellow Conn. rapper Oncue, Go Back is sure to resonate with anyone who grew up in the ‘90s (myself included, though I feel like 21’s a little young to be looking back nostalgically on the good old days). Fans can hear more from this hip-hop Peter Pan on his Teenage Mutant Ninja Rapper mixtape, available now online.

Dude must like TMNT, but I wasn't expecting this type of track from a guy like this. I thought he'd be another Asher Roth type'a fella, but this cut was pretty mature and well done (most notably on the boards). Lyrics were a bit cheezy but 3 star worthy.

I know what people are thinking... no, today is not "White Rapper Day" at DJBooth.net. But, when you have something to say and you do it in a unique way, it doesn't matter if you are black, brown, white or purple. This one brought me back, as the theme should probably do. New mixtape is tight.
Side Bar: April Oneal of TMNT fame was so hot - right? |

@DJ Z White rapper day? I thought it was "Guys named Mike Day." Good music is good music, and I can always dig a good nostalgia track. I can't front, I dressed up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for Halloween back in the day, Leonardo if I remember correctly. Leonardo was my boy.

Big props for the nicely sampled production and the lyrics are pretty cool, some funny references. The vibe on this song was smooth, and Oncue was nice on the end.
Here you go @that1kid13 .... |

Nice beat and great delivery, but boring and repetitive background music

Feeling not only the track, but also that shirt. I wish I had kept my old 90s clothing.

This is the theme song of my generation. EVERY reference is on point, production is ripped straight from the pages of old school hip hop.

Beat is nice but I think his rhymes are uninspired. If he wants to be great he needs to show a little attitude in his rhymes. In hip hop if you don't take your spot and recognize yourself as one of the elite in the rap game and you always be a average artist.
