Some are in it for the money, some for the girls. Some are in it for the paparazzi flashes, or vacations on yachts, or the glory of seeing their name on DJBooth. Elite? Elite just wants to Sing My Song. Perhaps best known as J. Cole’s favorite producer when J. Cole isn’t producing, Elite is making his move towards solo success with his first Booth feature, the aforementioned Sing My Song, a self-produced joint that melds triumphant horns, marching band percussion, harmonious piano keys and about 47 other instruments. But we all know the man can make a beat, the real question is, can he rap? I’ll leave the answer up to the Booth, but at the very least I don’t think there’s any doubt that his steady, baritone flow and high-caliber lyrics are the mark of an emcee determined to make it: “I want it all, give me the ball, pressure’s on if this don’t fall.” Feeling undecided? I’ve got a feeling we’ll have at least one more chances to let Elite’s style sink in before his currently untitled mixtape drops “soon”.

I knew Elite could produce from his work with J. Cole, but dude can actually rap too. He isn't anywhere near as nice as Cole on the mic (just being honest), but its unfair to hold him to that standard as he really enters the game as more than a producer. "Sing My Song" is really a complete record. Leave it up to a talented producer to understand what it takes to craft an enjoyable listen for your first real foray into the limelight.

@DJ Z..... you need to start commenting on the records after everyone else does, cuz you always say what everyone else wants to say. Lol.
You said it perfectly in this. He did a great job on this. The production is very nice from Elite. There isnt any more i can say.... In rotation for me. |

Defintely top-notch production. Love the marching band rythm throughout. And I actually don't think he sounded all that bad on the mic. Could definitey top some of the mainstream people we have in today's industry.

You know I'm always completely honest, so completely honestly, as cliche as it may be to say, I wasn't particularly impressed with Elite's rapping. It's solid, but it's clear he's got some work to do before moving up the emcee ranks.
But there's nothing wrong with that. He's clearly got the production skills to get him in the door, and if he keeps working, I think he can walk through that open door.

He can produce, but as far as rapping? He needs work.
