Cutlass Reid - Cheese Eggs & Grits
Artist: Cutlass Reid
Featuring: Truck North
Producer: Johnathan Dugger
Album: One Day at a Time
Label: Unsigned
There are few (if any) forces that hold more power over the human psyche as nostalgia. Don’t take it from me, though – take it from Booth newcomer Cutlass Reid, whose latest feature finds him looking back on an impoverished childhood through its rosy glow. Inspired by the memory of his grandmother’s Cheese Eggs & Grits, the Norfolk, Virginia native proceeds to lace Johnathan Dugger bittersweet, piano-led beat with fond reminiscences on, well, everything – “dirt bike races,” candy from the corner store, Notorious B.I.G., even the “crackhead Lionel… tryin’ to sell that Playstation with no controllers.” On the back end, Money Making Jam Boy Truck North grabs the mic to revisit his days “in the crib playin’ Mario and Battletoads, rappin’ De La Soul into my Mr. Microphone,” before jumping forward to his discovery of the fairer sex. Has this gritty yet warm foray down Memory Lane left you craving more from Cutlass Reid? You’re in luck; the emcee’s latest street album, the Booth-hosted One Day at a Time, will hit our mixtape page for free streaming and download later this month.

I'm feeling this song. The beat is very catchy. Wheat really impressed me was the ability of both emcees ability to paint a picture. Their descriptions were vivid and at times humorous. I thought the hook could have used work, but overall, I like this laid back tune.

This track reminds me of Juicy in parts or just those songs where you go back and reflect on everything before the come up. Nice.

The beat on this one is coo. Idk. I'm kinda on the fence. I do like the track tho. Its a good track that takes a trip back to a certain period of time in his life. So thats coo. I'm a more lyrical person so due to his lyricism it doesn't catch my attention off top. But its coo.
