Emilio Rojas - Nothing Like It

Producer: Kanye West

Album: The Natural Mixtape

Label: Unsigned

When he moved to Brooklyn back in ‘05, Emilio Rojas was just another unknown up-and-comer with no job, no cash, and some big dreams; four years and a few acclaimed mixtape releases later, he’s grown into an NYC buzzmaker with experience opening for some of the biggest names in underground hip-hop. Beating the odds—there’s Nothing Like It! On this newly-leaked mixtape cut, Rojas uses the Kanye West-produced, Dynamic Superiors-sampling instrumental that backed Beanie Sigel‘s track of the same name as a soulful accompaniment to his own hip-hop success story. Rojas’ precise delivery could hardly be farther removed from Beans’ gruff vocal presence, but his nonchalant braggadocio and polysyllabic pyrotechnics (who knew you could rhyme “soliloquy” with “A Milli beat”?) nonetheless sound perfectly at home over K-Weezy’s head-bobbing boardwork. The Natural is set to drop “soon,” but fans should keep their browsers trained on our front page in the meantime; Rojas and DJBooth.net are currently working behind-the-scenes on some potential collaborations.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11662	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs When I listen to Emilio, I think "man, that is Emilio!" I don't think, "oh, he's a rapper." Maybe its because I have a relationship with his camp, but all I can say is that I don't normally feel that way about very many artists (these days). "Nothing Like It" is another reason why the man is on the brink of next-level success. Follow @DJBooth

Juanito_88 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1077	Rating: Juanito_88's Top Rated Songs First off the sample and production is SICK and gets a definite 4! I love this type of production from Kanye Since this is a mixtape track I wont add that into my equation, but Rojas is nice and deserves rotation. He has a distinct voice, knows how to flow nicely over a beat, and sprinkles in some very nice wordplay and punch lines.
