Dee-1 - It's My Turn
Artist: Dee-1
Producer: Rockaway Productions
Album: I Hope They Hear Me (Volume 2)
Label: Omar Ent.
In the brutally-competitive music game, it’s not unusual for an up-and-comer to spend years hoping and praying before finally getting a shot at greatness (that’s if he or she doesn’t give up first). Dee-1, for one, isn’t taking any chances; on his latest mixtape leak, the New Orleans representative (and Best of the Booth award-winner) straight-up informs the powers that be that “It’s My Turn.” Rockaway Productions handles production duties, cooking up a sparse, organ-driven beat (complete with a hook sampled from Diana Ross’ joint of the same title) as Dee demonstrates exactly why heads need to reserve a seat on his bandwagon before it’s fully booked. Among other lofty boasts, the emcee claims: “If 2Pac and Lauryn Hill were married, I’d be their son” Think Dee-1’s got the skills to live up to that noble lineage? Those leaning towards the affirmative will undoubtedly enjoy what the artist’s got lined up for his Booth-sponsored I Hope They Hear Me (Volume 2) street album, set to hit our mixtape page on March 1.

Still traveling, little time for insights, but...
N.O. has not had a bright, young talent as promising as Dee-1 in quite some time. I am legit excited for the direction this young man is headed in over the next few months (and years to come).

This young brother is exactly what the game needs to fill in! I saw his Army video on MTV the other day and a girl from his team sent me a link to this! Handsome brother.
