Emilio Rojas - Tell No Lies
Artist: Emilio Rojas
Featuring: B.o.B
Producer: DJ Green Lantern & V12 The Hitman
Album: Life Without Shame
Label: Unsigned
In an age where rappers shamelessly flaunt their material wealth, DJBooth Freestyle Alum Emilio Rojas is very frank about his less-than-ideal financial standing on Tell No Lies, a new single from his latest mixtape, Life Without Shame. Let’s be real –the majority of us can relate to a song about spending more than you make, or being late on the rent, more than songs about popping bottles and flying in G6 jets (whether we want to admit it or not). Tell No Lies falls perfectly in line with the idea behind the title as we get Emilio Rojas delivering verses over a DJ Green Lantern and V12 The Hitman produced beat, delving into his money woes with a sincere conviction: “My shorty wakin’ up hungover. It’s funny, because this champagne lifestyle is sobering.” For guests, B.o.B comes through with an equally sincere verse that that echoes Rojas’ frustrations – “Folks tellin’ me I made it. Please, I ain’t made sh*t, my soul still need saving” – while newcomer Leo jumps in with a distinctive hook. And what better way to save your soul than to admit to the world (and yourself) when you’re not at your best?

One of the three best records on the new "Life Without Shame." Which, if you have not listened or download yet... shame on you.
Seriously, people, stop sleeping and just press play. In fact, if you'd like, I will come to your computer keyboard (desktop, laptop, PDA or otherwise) and press the play button for you! PS. Real nice work by hook singer Leo, who I had never previously heard of. Your table is ready, sir.

I like everything about this record. Including B.o.B one of my favorite rappers. The only thing that i would change here is to make the chords on the hook more natural. Their kinda out there. But that defintely doesn't change the fact that this is a banger.

My absolute dream would be for a record about not compromising in order to make a hit record become a hit record. Let's make it happen people.
Great to hear Bobby Ray just straight up rapping.

Well, i loved Emilio last peices of work. They really caught me and made me want to hear for more from him. And this is probally the best yet.
The production from DJ Green Lantern & V12 The Hitman is amazing. And it is SOOOO good to hear from B.o.B. He kinda disappeared for a lil while. And him being in this is perfect. I love the message in this record. Very thoughtful lyrics in the verses. They really make you listen to what he is saying. This is an overall great record. A Banger for me. Keep it up Emilio!!! |

I thought B.O.B lost it a bit in his evolution form Mixtape to Album, he should be spending more time with Rojas - A Rojas/BOB/Yela track could be dope!

This was much better than I had predicted, even though B.o.B had a poor verse.

Emilio goes hard on this track en with B.o.B to back him up you can't go wrong. DJ Green my fav atm, really creates some amazing beats, wait not some, lots. Best mixtape of 2010 up there with Mike Dreams & Skewby.
