Dee-1 - The One That Got Away!
Artist: Dee-1
Producer: Mannie Fresh
Album: I Hope They Hear Me Vol 2
Label: Omar Ent.
From the recently released and Booth-acclaimed mixtape I Hope They Hear Me (Vol. 2), Dee-1’s The One That Got Away is a playful ode to the absolute worst kind of missed opportunity. Producer Mannie Fresh provides a smooth flip of Carl Thomas I Wish as the New Orleans representative shares his story about “the one”. Over Thomas’ timeless piano stabs, Dee employs his story-telling flow as he watches his now-engaged girl and wonders what could have been: “I know what I know and I know she still love me / Even with that ring and that soon to be hubby.” Dee’s lighthearted swag coupled with the never-serious Mannie Fresh ad-libbing in the background make this a fun track to listen to—or unbearable depending on how you feel about Mannie Fresh. As mentioned, the Booth is loving IHTHM Vol. 2 so if you enjoyed this breezy record you might wanna cop his whole project and keep it locked for more from Dee, including an upcoming exclusive DJBooth freestyle.

I play the whole mix tape on loop sometimes. This is one of my favorites from it.

Like the rest of his new album, "The One That Got Away" is excellent. Dee's sincerity and his candor shine through in his flow and delivery.

Not really feely feeling the hook or his delivery as a whole. His southern accent and voice doesn't work for me...

This is a solid track. I like the lyrics, Dee-1 tells a pretty good story. Mannie produces another great beat, but his talking is annoying and ruins the vibe of the song.
