Wordsmith - Back In ft. Kimia Collins
Artist: Wordsmith
Producer: Strada
Album: A Crack in the Bridge Mixtape
Label: Nu Revolution Ent. LLC.
This June, underground emcee Wordsmith and industry vet Chubb Rock plan to drop a collaborative album called Bridging the Gap; in the meantime, the duo are looking to heighten listener anticipation by releasing promo records that will not be available on the album proper, but will be collected on a forthcoming mixtape called A Crack in the Bridge. The “gap” the twosome are looking to bridge is, of course, the metaphorical chasm that separates old and new-school hip-hop, and the newly-released Back In will give listeners a good idea of how they plan to accomplish this feat—while Strada‘s relaxed boardwork and Kimia Collins’ soulful hook give the cut a nostalgic vibe, the two emcees bring distinct brands of lyrical freshness to the table, Chubb channeling his commanding rasp into compellingly freeform rhymes, and Word showcasing his skills as a storyteller. If the duo’s unique blend of old and new has your interest piqued, watch for more promo cuts in the near future.

This is a real mellow track, almost too mellow, but its nice. The production is a little slow, but its cool. I like Chubb's poet-like flow on here, but he sounds a lil too much like hes just talking. Wordsmith was just ok on here, but its an overall good concept for the album...

I can imagine this beat with a Talib Kweli, Common or Mos def flow with Ms Baddhu on the chorus would be a def 10 star rating. Chubb Rock & Wordsmith not that exciting on dis....

i can zone out to this its real smooth and mellow, the only thing i didnt like was the first dude, his voice and flow over the track it didnt match not one bit, but if i can put that aside id say this track is decent, picked up for me second verse... this gets my vote as a 3.5
