Dominique Larue - Fall '96
Artist: Dominique Larue
Producer: Ghost Rydah
Album: Dub MD Presents: End of Regulation
Label: Famous Records
Short of a mind-blowing orgasm, there’s no better feeling in the world than listening to a track from an artist you’ve never heard before and instantly falling in love. That was exactly the feeling I had this morning with I first heard DJBooth newcomer Dominique Larue’s new track Fall ’96. Hailing from Columbus, Ohio - also the birthplace of yours truly - Larue is determined to prove that dope female emcees are far from extinct, they’re just being sadly overlooked (except on DJBooth.net). As always, it’s the music that matters, not the gender, and Fall ’96 rolls over some gripping production from Ghost Rydah (love the percussion in the third verse) while Larue pays homage to one of hip-hop’s brightest era’s with a flow that’s reminiscent of Common’s classic I Used to Love H.E.R. Can you tell I’m really digging this track? Fall ’96 is off Larue’s upcoming mixtape Dub MD Presents: End of Regulation, set to drop on November 19. Keep it locked for all the latest.

I've never heard of her, but I am an instant fan! Ghost Rydah's production is dope. (Sidebar: I do you wish her vocals were a little louder over the beat, because that constant whistle sort of took the forefront and it distracted me)
But this is too dope. |

The production is nice, but that whistle is way too distracting. Her flow is on point and the concept is dope.

The production is hot; in part because of the use of that indistinguishable howling sound (like someone stepped on Charlotte Church's toe).
As for Dominique Larue, she reminds me of Eve (RR!), which is fine by me. |

I heard it and liked it. I passed it on to Nathan, who then took a listen and liked it. He said to me, "lets feature this." I said to him, "I plan on it." And thus, the story behind why this record is being featured. That simple? Yup, that simple.

@DJZ Yeah, that's pretty much how it went down. This is just one of those tracks that had me vibin the first time I heard it, totally sucked me in. The production's hypnotizing and Larue's lyrics are on point (though I don't hear the Eve comparison like MV Somerville). I've got nothing but respect for this track, this is what quality music sounds like.

Lol Nathan, listen to Eve in Ryde or Die Vol 2 (more specifically in "Got It All") or in Eve-lution. Dominique sounds just like Eve, except she's not as threatening (in the lyrics) as Eve. Her stanzas and delivery favors Common's, but she literally sounds like Eve.

That whistle doesn't bother me at all, and the rest is just good stuff. Tight rhyming backed with smooth instrumentation. Rotation fa sho!

A fresh take on an often overused topic over stellar production. And the flow? I can't believe it's not butter (particularly in the first verse).
"... last name was 'Dat', first name was 'True'..." Lend an ear to her most recent release the "End of Regulation" mixtape: http://www.mediafire.com/?mbmymjndz2z Regards |
