Erk Tha Jerk ft. J. Myers - Reach the Top

Erk Tha Jerk - Reach the Top

Producer: Invasion

Album: Nerd's Eye View

Label: Red Planet Music Group/SMC Recordings

Bay Area fast riser Erk Tha Jerk has done well for himself on the underground music scene, building a much deserved buzz for his unique brand of relatable hip-hop. Today, however, he makes his most prestigious move yet, at least as far as we’re concerned, to DJBooth’s pages with his first feature (round of applause). The self-proclaimed Hood Nerd has arrived with his latest single, Reach the Top, a lightly head nodding ode to grinding for success. Backed by some melodic and soulful production from Invasion, Jerk and feature J. Myers bounce back and forth on the topic of climbing the ladder, regardless of the obstacles in their path, while scooping up some honeys along the way: “To my city, I’m just trying to put you on/ and to the pretty girls watching I’m just trying to get you home.” Will Erk’s debut effort reach the top of our DJBooth charts? We’ll find out soon. And if you liked the fresh vibe laid down here, there’s no need to wait; his long-awaited release, Nerd’s Eye View, is available right now for hood nerds worldwide to enjoy.

Nathan S. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 2476	Rating: Nathan S.'s Top Rated Songs ^ Thanks for the well thought out criticism. Anyway, I thought this was an impressive debut from Erk. If you're looking for a trunk rattler look elsewhere, but there's an obvious spirit of honesty and quality that you have to respect.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11633	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I second everything Nathan S. wrote in his feedback. This is a solid intro to our readers for Erk. Nothing spectacular, but a solid record for sure. And to "t0azz", or any other members who think comments like "this song is crap" have a place in the Booth, they do not. You can be constructive and mature at the same time. Its a great concept. Follow @DJBooth
