If you’ve found yourself lacking motivation and energy at the gym lately (and no, I’m not pushing ‘roids), it might be time to update your workout playlist. Along with the obligatory Rocky theme and Jock Jams, you may want to include Common Market‘s new track, Gol’ Dust. The Seattle duo, composed of producer Sabzi and emcee RA Scion, creates up-tempo, energetic hip hop that is guaranteed to add a few plates to your lifts. Sabzi’s horn-driven beat evokes a training montage from an ‘80s movie, while Scion’s hyperactive delivery squeezes that much more gusto into the track. As an added bonus, his lyrics are actually quite thought-provoking, covering religion, personal ambitions, and more. Gol’ Dust will appear on Common Market’s second album, Tobacco Road, out September 9.
Hah, I don't think this would come close to my workout playlist. You gotta get some DMX and some Eminem on there to really get your swell on at the gym LOL! This song is pretty weak to me, it almost sounds more of like a punk rock band that's just kind of rapping on a track to generate some buzz. Can't really give much props to the production either, but thats just me.
sounds like a dictionary rapper to me but whos 2 say whats what....the wordplay is very proper...homie never strayed far off his emphasis...props...the beat is strait...nebody lookin 4 breathe n saturated hiphop may find it here
This production is real hot. DJ Sabzi went epic on this. I like dude's vocal presence. The hook keeps my head bobbing. This track is a definite conscious banger. Delivery is non-stop confidence. This bangs for us intellectuals. I like this a lot. This sounds like a joint Talib Kweli would hop on. I bet if he had of made this track, it would have received a lot more high reviews.
I saw Sabzi playing around with this beat on an old crossfader "interview" and have been wondering whether this beat was gonna go to Geo (Blue Scholars) or RA Scion (Common Market) - check it out on youtube, if you don't think Sabzi has skills producing he lays one of the sickest synth riffs i've ever heard. straight fire.
