Late last January, the DJBooth introduced reggae artist Demarco and his tribute to all the Fallen Soldiers on his native streets.  Peaking at #2 on our Underground chart, the record garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from our listeners and prompted many to ask for, as their genre calls it, Mo’ Fire!  Ten months later, one of several recorded remixes has arrived in our Booth, which includes some reflections from a different type of street veteran. Jim Jones, a label mate at Koch, rhymes about those whose lives were cut short on the streets. Though the production remains unchanged from the original version, the message that Demarco and Jones impart should resonate from Kingston to Harlem and well beyond.  Demarco’s untitled debut album currently has no set release date.

The production on this sounds so ill. It actually reminds me of something Mike Shinoda produced for "The Rising Tide", just more ballad-oriented. Jimmy sounded awesome on this. He's been bringing it lately (Have y'all heard that "Day & Night Remix and saw the video?). Demarco was cool. I can dig the reggae vibe. This definitely gets 4 stars.

Jim Jones was pretty good on this one! I like DeMarco a lot on this one. The production is tight on this one! The reggae-style hook is perfect for this song. Solid banger!!

This sounded good to me 10 months ago when it was dropped off in my mailbox. Nice to see a single, which hasn't received national airplay, can get milked for so long with a few guest remixes from label mates. Let's hear the next one, D...

Pretty song but a little boring I must say. Of course what I don't like here is the autotune, I feel they could have done without it! Lyrics are good (I understood something) and production is great...in rotation

Jamtown has rolled w/ the autotune for a long long time so nothing new there. I think I just have a bias against Jim Jones -- I mean seriously dude always sounds like he's got cotton balls stuffed in his cheeks; I can't relate. I mean even on a track like this he manages to talk about Ice, and Crack I honestly feel as if Lil Wayne or Kardinal could've and should've ripped this to shreds.

boombangin, that's exactly what I've been trying to tell people! Plus, it's all good when it's used correctly and helps the song!
