Erik Flowchild - Walk in the Park
Artist: Erik Flowchild
Featuring: Add-2
Producer: Stray Shotz
Album: The Delivery Boy
Label: Unsigned
Out-and-out hate is for amateurs—if you really want to get under someone’s skin, try saying something that can’t be countered with a simple, “Nuh-uh.” Like, “You’ve got to work on your delivery.” When Ontario emcee Erik Flowchild received that bit of constructive criticism, he didn’t just put his fingers in his ears and go, “La la la,” as so many others would have done; instead he took the high road, setting out to silence his doubters by showcasing his finely-honed skills on a brand new mixtape, aptly titled The Delivery Boy. If Flowchild’s first Booth feature, A Walk In The Park, is any indication, his verbal workouts have paid off and then some—over Stray Shotz’ euphoric, old-school sample work, he spits his braggadocio-heavy verses with such effortlessly acrobatic ease that even the most jaded listeners will be too busy bobbing their heads to hate, and Chi-town’s Add-2 turns in a similarly gymnastic performance on the front end. AWITP comes with a combination of sunny, feel-good appeal and blistering energy that’s hard to come by—to put it simply, this track delivers. Those curious what else Flowchild’s got stashed away in the back of his Canada Post truck should keep it locked to Booth for release info on his forthcoming mixtape.

Might not be your style, but certainly is mine. As soon as I heard it this morning, I immediately reached out to Erik. Love the trumpets, the swag (ya ya) and the lyricism. More, please.

I thought his delivery was very solid, and I've neva heard anythin from him but whateva he did to switch is up must have worked. His flow was pretty fluid, which is how it should be. The production had a great old-school vibe that I love, I'll be lookin out for more from this kid.

Solid production - a tight uptempo rhythm that just packs enough internal intricacies to be called old-school funky!
Erik - This added element only helps the replay value. BANGER!!! |

This is some definite throwback hip hop stuff from some young cats. I can't argue with it. Erik sounded like a cross between Wale and the Miami based rising hip hop artist Quest (the homey, who has also been featured on here before). Add-2 had a throwback Drake flow (I sensed this b4 he even mentioned Drake in his song...LOL...Isn't it Ironic says Alannis Morisette....Oh, Canada plug. Yes! 2 Points....Add-2)
I could keep that going...but let me stop...lol Solid joint all the way. OG heads and New School OG heads will dig it. Rotation! |
