A laissez-faire approach to relationships may make for good times in the short term, but behind every player and “playette” lie numerous burned bridges and broken hearts. Newly-leaked mixtape cut Go On & Try (making its world premiere right here in the Booth) finds Dre-Ski fresh off a breakup with one such chick, disheartened but ultimately glad to have her dishonesty out of his life. Backed by the soulful boardwork of Marcus Jones, sampled from from Les McAnn’s Go On and Cry, the freestyle series alumnus informs the girl in question that, now that he knows she’s been doing him dirty, he’s made up his mind not to be fooled again: “Break up to make-up, nah, not again / I can’t stand to see your face ‘cause you’re not my friend… it’s a promise, we’re done, no, it’s not a threat.” A catchy jam that many will likely find all-too-relatable, Try is just one of many fresh cuts set to appear on Ski’s next street album, the DJBooth.net-sponsored Cloud 8.7. Watch for the project to hit our mixtape page for free streaming and download February 9!

A cut like "Go On & Try" is the right lane for Dre. He sounds real comfortable here. This song won't convert you, as a prospective fan, if you weren't already slightly on board before. However, if you were already a fan of his work, chances are you'll enjoy.

This is my first exposure to Dre-Ski, and I'm interested to hear more. I like the story behind the track, and the production worked pretty well for it.

This is my first time listening to Dre-Ski, and this is a really great first impression for me. He really seems to have great talent with the mic in his hands. His verses are really strong and on point with great lyrics. The production from Marcus Jones is so amazing in this. It really makes this an extremely enjoyable listen. Also, the chorus also really hooks you in for more. The only thing i didnt like was the length, it seems un-finished. Other than that, this is a banger.
