This may be the first you’ve heard of Costell but, if his first Booth feature is to be believed, it won’t be the last – not by a long shot. On the intro track off his forthcoming full-length, the Queens native lets listeners know just how high he has his sights set: he aspires to create nothing less than Timeless, classic tunes. Over Sean Ross’ exultant, retro-informed chopped-soul-sample instrumental, the emcee elaborates on his musical M.O., mixing confident braggadocio (“I most certainly deserve to be in everybody’s top three or top one / Survival of the fittest, We’re gods where I’m from”) with real talk (“Ever since I was eight-years-old I wanted to be a rapper; now I wanna be an artist.). This cut offers a compelling look into Costell’s head, to be sure, but does it live up to the lofty promise of its title? That’s a tall order but, if you think it comes close, you won’t want to miss the future classics the emcee will showcase on his forthcoming album. Produced entirely by Sean Ross, ELO is set to drop sometime this fall. In the meantime, of course, you can keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest and greatest tunes.

Remember when you met that hot girl who you were attracted to, but you ended up actually liking her because once you got to know her you thoroughly enjoyed her personality? Yeah, well Sean Ross' production is that hot girl and Costell's rhymes are the personality. Dig the analogy? Great. Don't understand? Take another listen.

@DJZ that was a heartwarming analogy. Unfortunately (the wifey aside) the hot chicks I dated turned out to be walnuts, but I get where you were going with it.

I don't know about timeless, I could have used just a little more energy from Costell, but the flow's on point and that production's fresh as hell. More please.

Man this track is fire, perfect mixtape track - in fact im going to mess around with it on the techs 12s right now.

Production is on point and I feel like Costell comes with the right balance of energy and swagger on this one.

A hella impressive introduction as Costell comes out with a straight dope flow, and not a single weak line.

Its the second beat I've heard from Sean Ross (first one was Cause/Yonas "In A Daze") and once again its nothing but a BANGER!!!
