First things first: I can’t be the only one who glanced at this joint’s title and thought, “Oh, word, Game dropped a new freestyle already?” I kid, I kid. In point of fact, Way Too Long, the first Booth feature from Dartlin, is only a touch longer than your average rap record—and I’m happy to say that the ATL rhymesayer makes every second count. With Russ’ driving, guitar-sample arrangement banging in the back, Dartlin laments that he and the music industry seem to exist in two different timelines; while he’s hustling at Mach 5, the rest of the game is still sleeping, oblivious to the freshness he’s churning out on the daily. Fellow A-town repper Bugus (previously heard on July’s G’s Up, Hoes Down) guests, lacing the second verse with an energetically-flowed account of his own white-knuckle paper chase: “I’m runnin’ through life, chasin’ my dreams. / And I’m fundin’ my life, lacin’ my team…” So, readers, is this Southern-fried banger just your speed? If so, you won’t want to miss the rest of the quality material on Dartlin’s self-titled street album, scheduled to arrive on the ‘net November 11.

I heard Dartlin for the first time just the other day and I was instantly intrigued. There is something about him (at least in this single offering) that is going to make you want to press play when the song is over or research his work in Google. Either way, that something is a good thing.

The production by Russ on here is great. I like the beat and the backgrounds and samples in there. This dude Darlin's flow is kind of weak in my opinion. I don't like the delivery or the flow at all. It just doesn't come out right on wax. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but it destroys the track for me... This is just 2-stars for the production work...
