Riley - Boom Boom ft. Kardinal Offishall
Artist: Riley
Featuring: Kardinal Offishall
Producer: Y-Not [for Soundsmith]
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: BDG/SPG/Universal
Sexually suggestive onomatopoeia is one of the hottest trends in R&B right now—just ask Bobby Valentino, whose sultry use of sound effects scored him two of his biggest hits to date. For his first Booth feature, Toronto R&B singer/songwriter Riley is looking to get in on that action by resurrecting a classic euphemism—when he asks his girl for a little Boom Boom between the sheets, she knows exactly what he means. In keeping with the record’s theme, fellow BlackJays member and T-dot native Kardinal Offishall starts things off with a bang; his hyperkinetic opening verse, though largely unrelated to the rest of the cut’s bedroom theme, meshes perfectly with Y-Not‘s bass-booming, string-driven beat. Will Boom Boom live up to its name and make the singer’s debut LP, Riley, an explosive success? We’ll have to wait till this August to find out for sure.

Kardinal's verse is so hot with that dope production but then it tails off after that. The vocals is good and the lyrics is good. In rotation

Kardinal starts the song of wit intensity, and he has a great vibe. Not very imaginitive lyrics on the hook, but something that everyone can sing along to. I liked his voice, but it was nothing too special. Cool track to throw on in the bedroom....

In rotation, but Kardinal and the production are the only real reasons... Darryl didn't bring anything new to the table for me.

@Mr.Top Hat - we are all about BIG WORDS here at the Booth, haha!
Nice vibe, nice guest verse (would have liked to hear Kardi on the back end too), rotation record.

The highlight of this track was Kardinals verse in the beginning. I agree with DJ Z I think he should have came back in later on in the song. But I still feel Darryl Riley on this track hes got a smooth voice. I give it a 3.5

Kardinal is a beast at the moment, everything i've heard from him since Dangerous has been sick, Riley was alright as well & the production was decent enough.

Kardinal did set it off, but then the chorus/oompa loompa part kills all of the energy. The verses and bridge are hot, but the chorus is boring. Not good to have the chorus be the worst part of the song, but the rest of the song makes up for it. 3.5 stars.

production is pretty good here but as others have said the song kinda dies off. I think it starts out very energetic and then just slowly loses it. The song doesnt die, it is a good song, but the energy is lost

Word It definetly is slow like in the Matrix. Altough the chorus is pretty good, its seems like they were out of inspiration. Its repeated like 10 times and then like 10 more times.
