Cymarshall Law - King With 4 Lives
Artist: Cymarshall Law
Producer: Mr. Joeker
Album: Hip-Hop In The Soul
Label: HipNott Records
Gather ‘round, Booth readers, because CyMarshall Law has a story to tell. On his latest single, the man who brought us Booth-exclusive freestyle I Am Hip-Hop puts his own spin on a fable that, whether passed down through countless generations or cooked up by some Aesop-come-lately with an Internet connection (its authorship is unknown, though the text can easily be found via Google), holds a timeless moral truth at its core. Since the tale of the King with 4 Wives has something of a twist ending, I’ll leave it to CyMarshall to do the telling—suffice it to say, the record boasts a unique concept and a central message that many of our readers will be able to get behind, and Hip-Hop In the Soul collaborator Mr. Joeker‘s head-bobbing beat has an exotic yet geographically unplaceable vibe that lends extra weight to Law’s tale. KW2W is a thought-provoking cut that, thanks to CyMarshall’s humor-laced lyricism, doesn’t comes off as preachy in the slightest. This single’s Eric Thompson-directed music video is set to drop next week, and fans hungry for more from CyMarshall Law and Mr. Joeker can pick up a copy of their Hip-Hop In The Soul LP (out now).

When the beat drops I have to remind myself that I am not watching a show on the History Channel. All jokes aside, not many emcees would be able to pull this off.
Cy's vocal approach and story-telling-perfect cadence allows the listener to feel the vibe of the record, while never loosing focus on what is being said.

I'll co-sign Z's comment... he does a great job tellin the story. The production is good enough for the backdrop.
I think this is a DJ-Booth first for me: no negative reviews today! |

This song production is weird, but tolerable... And CyMarshall's flow and ability to piece together a great story more than makes up for it. This duo continues to impress... BANGER!!!
I see TALENT |

Being overly-creative can sometimes have an ill effect on the song as a whole, but the collaborations between these two make every track from them worthwhile.

This song is solid for sure, only it doesn't do for me. I prefer other types of hip hop songs

The track carries the imagination with the story-line to the time of kings and harems. Both colaborate and compliment each other.
If you can train your ear to seporate the two, listen to the track... it's fire |
