Everliven Sound - Elements
Artist: Everliven Sound
Featuring: El Da Sensei
Producer: The Beatnikz, w/ cuts by DJ Don Martin
Album: Freedom 2 LP
Label: HipNott Records/Freedom
Drafted by Russian chemist Dimitri Mendelev in 1869, the Periodic Table of the Elements was a useful guide to the building blocks of matter, but suffered from a tragic lack of hot beats and witty punchlines. Unfortunately, no one has managed to come up with a doper alternative… until now. Elements, the latest single from Booth-approved duo Everliven Sound, may not be able to tell you the number of valence electrons a lead atom has, but it does feature all the essential components of an underground banger. Here a uniquely fresh, piano-driven instrumental by The Beatnikz (complete with cuts by DJ Don Martin) serves as backdrop for the witty-as-ever rhymes of group members Cymarshall Law and Skit Slam, as well as guest bars from Newark vet El Da Sensei. Packed with references to classic hip-hop fads and fashions, this cut should have old-schoolers and younger listeners nodding along. If you’re digging it, you’ll be able to hear more on Everliven’s Freedom 2 LP when it drops on the 22nd. In the meantime, why not take a listen to Booth-presented prelude mixtape Freedom of Speech: The Last Word Benders?

First things first - I loved the feature write-up by Richard. Okay, onto the track...
To draw on a line from the above blurb, "this cut should have old-schoolers and younger listeners nodding along." Nothing else needs to be said. This IS hip hop.

It's unanimous. This is dope. End of story.
@DJ Rater - Great call! I didn't realize Z has passed the 5,000 rating mark. We should be popping champagne around DJBooth headquarters.

Real Hip Hop at its finest. Catchy beat that has that old school sound. The beat has many new "elements" to it that really bridge the gap between older and newer music. Basically its an old school beat that actually sounds current. Great flow on each verse.
P.S. - DJ Z, Congratz on 5000, wish you 5,000 more. I am B=mc2. Music is featured on MTV's Washington Heights, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, Bad Girls Club, and more.

This is cool and i dig the beat, but it gets a bit repetitive after a while.

The beat was perfect. and their words were real good. I love the KRS1 sampling they did really adds another level. And all the rappers did their part.
