Rhettmatic - Here Comes the Live Ones
Artist: Rhettmatic
Featuring: MED
Producer: DJ Rhettmatic
Album: 20/20 Music
Label: Unsigned
As those who have already been traveling with us know, the road to our Event 20/20 album has been paved with dopeness from the likes of Phonte, Exile and Gold Chain Military. The next brick in that road is being paved today with the premiere of Live Ones, an appropriately live cut built on classic hip-hop foundations. Beat Junkies turntabilist and producer DJ Rhettmatic spearheads the effort, layering live scratches over a boom-bap based percussion line. The lyrical work comes courtesy of Detroit mic rocker Frank Nitt and Cali representer MED, who take turns laying down all the ways they plan on resuscitating a rap game that too often feels like it’s being run by zombies. As Henry Frankenstein would put it, if he were a DJBooth commenter, “It’s alive, it’s alive, it’s alive, IT’S ALIVE!” For info on the newly-released 20/20 BAS studio monitors, check out Event Electronics’ official site -and keep it locked to DJBooth.net for further entries in the series throughout October and November.

If you look up "hip hop" in an online dictionary you will see a stream player. If you press play, this song will come out from your speakers/headphones. It doesn't get any more early 90s than "Live Ones." Great old school production.

Being a Turntablist myself, I can appreciate what Rhettmatic has done here on the production. Lyrics are pretty cool, but overall it just sounds like its a bit outdated. I'll still throw it in rotation, but not for long...
