What is Eric Sosa all about? On his first Booth feature, a promo single originally released back in December of 2009, the Queens native gets to The Heart of the matter. Unusually-named producer ehT Mills mans the boards on this old school-informed jam, serving up a smooth, soul-sampled mix of guitar and strings as Sosa introduces us to his uniquely scatterbrained, analogy-packed lyrical style. In addition to boasting of having “a game tight enough to bring Atari back, he effortlessly drops some of the dopest polysyllabic rhymes I’ve heard in a while, “Funny, but no games; how do you expect to make money with no change? / Dummy with no brains…” His free-associated bars may raise more questions than they answer, but it all adds up to a track that’ll undoubtedly leave retro-minded heads intrigued. Could Eric Sosa come to stand alongside longtime fave K. Sparks as one of the best rising talents Queens has to offer? For now we can only speculate. As always, though, keep it locked for all the latest!

I really liked this song... after the third listen. I am afraid some of our "one and done" members won't get out of "The Heart" what Mr. Sosa intended to convey, but those who choose my repeat listen route will be rewarded.
Eric's flow caters more toward a freestyle track than a complete song, but he is young and talented and those two factors always help during the growth process.

Z, I wanna put this on repeat, I really do, but something about this track is holding me back. I take the DJ Booth star rating system very seriously, no less than three stars gets play on my headphones. And I can't give this track three stars in good conscience knowing I wont want to play this again. On a side note, if i may speak for the Resident DJs on this site for a moment, none of us are "one and done" members.

It's hard not to acknowledge the creativity on this record once you've given it a couple spins.

Needed a couple listens to catch all the punchlines and references, but Eric definitely has some serious rhyme skills. The track still feels a little unfinished to me, but it holds a lot of promise.

The verbal dexterity, flow, the patterns are all good stuff but the instrumental backing isn't quite all that. Still, Rotation fa sho!

A very chill song. I love the old school feel. To me it had an old school beat with new school lyrics. Despite that I would probably never dj this song it is just to slow but it is not bad to listen to

this joint had a old school flow with the soul sampling et al. his flow is kinda off with the beat. i dont know maybe its my hearing and that joint doesnt really speak to me. i think hes a local rapper and doesnt really have mass appeal
