Is life a b*tch, as Nas told us on my favorite track off Illmatic? Or is it, as Aesop Rock retorted in Daylight, a beautiful woman? Personally, I haven’t quite made up my mind. As for ELMNT, he’s not taking any chances; as he puts it on his latest LP leak, making its world premiere right here on our front page, “If life’s a b*tch, I hope she Catch Me Last.” DJ Bombay nails it on the production tip, flipping a piano sample strongly reminiscent of Norah Jones ’ Don’t Know Why (Anyone confirm or deny?) into a warm, nostalgia-drenched backdrop for bars tracing the path the T-Dot repper’s life has taken to date. Looking back with amusement on a day when all he did was “focus on hoes and chase head,” ELMNT notes how drastically his priorities have changed; now, he’d much rather be, “rocking arenas, raking in the cash.” Does this smooth, introspective selection leave you craving more? ELMNT’s latest full-length, We Don’t Belong Here, is scheduled for release in May, followed by a digital EP with beatsmith Dorian Gray in early June.

More records like this and plenty of hip hop fans will "catch" ELMNT whenever he drops new tunes. Love the simplistic, throw-back feel. The focus is all on the rhymes, nothing more nothing less.

This was very creative. I liked ELMNT's flow on here and the easy-going piano beat by DJ Bombay was on-point. I liked the samples too. Great track.

ELMNT has a nice flow and the piano tune is really chilled. Only drawback is sometimes the piano and his spitting don't seem to fit. Overall a solid track though
