Behind every great artist and every hot track lies an uncelebrated posse of producers, partners, and protégés. The success of DMX’s quadruple-platinum debut, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, is often credited to Swizz Beatz, but in reality it was Dame Grease who did the lion’s share of production for the album. Jim Jones’s ‘06 hit We Fly High, arguably rap’s biggest commercial success that year, was ghostwritten by the prison-bound Max B of the Diplomats. Assisted by rapper Messiah, Grease and Max B combine their relatively unsung talents to create Connecticut Kush, the first single from Grease’s upcoming album, Goon Muzik. The single is more than just a certified banger; it is the unveiling of two artists who have spent their careers making other people famous.
Dame Grease's production skill serves better than his rap skills. This has a G-Unit/50 Cent feel to it. It's no suprise Dame Grese sounds 50 Cent lite.
DAMn DAME WHERE YOU BEEN? This beat is DRE esque! I like it! The hook is 50 esque don't like that. THIS BEAT IS HOT MAINE!!! QUIT THE FIDDY TALK THOUGH! DA BO$$ KNOW WHERE IT'S AT!
The beat is fire, I like the music, but isn't he a bit boring?! I'm not feeling him very much...he flows like 50 Cent (well I saw someone else thinks so) and I'm not crazy for 50, honestly! It can go in rotation, though
Jshine: Glad we could put CONN on the map for you! Dame has mad talent, but its a shame most hip-hop followers have no clue who he is... and that must change. The underlying beat on this song heavily resembles IN DA CLUB (so all your 50 analogies are spot on my people!)
MAX B HAS BEEN CRAZY!!! yo, you guys gotta get up on his hooks. he is very clever and creative wit the hooks but when it comes to lyrical content...eh, his creativity lacks sometimes but he definitely has flow and cadence.
I'm from CONNECTICUT!!!!!!.... lol sorry but everone reps where they're from so i thought i might as well since the only thing associated with connecticut is that 50 lived here....lol Other wise, I LOVE The vocals.... something to bump to... MAx B does it!
@ DJ Z: Glad you said that! Thought I was goin crazy over here...lol I hear the Clap/Snare from In Da Club and a synth in there that's like the guitar in 50's joint. That said I actually like this song and I never knew Max B was the one writin for Jimmy. The song sounds like Dre could hop in at any moment and say "It's a Wrap"
