e-dubble - Grey Skies

Producer: Villain

Album: None (Promo Single)

Label: Black Paisley

If you tuned in for e-dubble‘s last feature, October 2011’s Fight for Days, you know that he doesn’t get a whole lot of shut-eye; between days on the grind and nights of liquor-soaked revelry, there’s little room in the Baltimore representative’s schedule for catching Z’s. On his latest effort, promo single Grey Skies, the underground emcee/producer reveals what lies behind his allergy to inertia—namely, an acute awareness of the precious and irreplaceable value of each passing minute. Backed by Billy “Villain” Martin’s brooding synths and pensive keyboard arpeggios, the rhymesayer paints a vivid lyrical portrait of anxiety in the face of finitude, spitting, “I see the clock inside my phone just starin’ back at me / like what we do with all our time could be a tragedy.” Of course, he doesn’t spend more than a bar or two fretting about it. Instead, he gives his ambition free rein, brainstorming a brighter future not only for himself, but for the society surrounding him. Does this bracing jam leave you itching to get outside and make something happen? Then have at it—but remember to check back with the Booth for more fresh tunes from this DMV fast-riser.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11651	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Every time a new e-dubble record pops up in my inbox it comes with word the song is "a free promo-single release." Sooner or later, I'd suggest e-dub start charging for these quality one-offs... they are consistently dope. Follow @DJBooth

djblaze DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 7981	Rating: djblaze's Top Rated Songs Lots of great music on da booth today. E-dubble has a cool lazy flow over this beat. Good chorus and the beat reminds me of some video game I played in the early 90's, but in a very good way. Good production. I can dig it. Follow @djblaze_djbooth
