Fly Gypsy - Wildflower
Artist: Fly Gypsy
Producer: Alexei Jendayi
Album: The Vodka & Rum Mixtape
Label: Fly Gypsy Music
Time for another pop quiz: what do you get when you mix Vodka & Rum? The answer, of course, is up-and-coming hip-hop duo Fly Gypsy (though I would also have accepted “part of a Long Island Iced Tea”). Made up of Russian beatsmith Alexei Jendayi and Jamaican-born emcee Komplex, the D.C.-based twosome are making their Booth debut with mixtape single Wildflower. Dedicated to a woman whose icy exterior masks a warm heart, this track boasts a beat as defiantly unconventional as the female in question; borrowing his mellow, tuneful boardwork from Puerto Rican guitar legend Jose Feliciano‘s cover of the Doors’ Light My Fire, Jendayi retains the sample’s slight Latin rhythm rather than springing for your typically booming rap percussion. The result doesn’t sound much like a hip-hop record, but Komplex’ rhymes hit home nonetheless, and the combination simply works – personally, I was sold the second the strings came in. If this inventive, genre-blending cut leaves you intrigued, you can find plenty more intoxicating jams on Fly Gypsy’s latest street album, available now for free download.

They put what on DJBooth.net? Yup, we did. Hip-Hop is all about innovation and unconventional (out the box) ways of expressing thoughts, which is seemingly the best way to describe the beautiful record.
Komplex sounds a bit like Black Thought (who is one of my personal favorites) and Jadayi incorporates this Doors sample wonderfully.

This is a comfy tune. I can really picture this man sitting in a gold field by a river playing a worn-out guitar. I'd lie down right next to him and rest my eyes.

Interesting... different, I don't know if America is ready for this type of song. I don't know why.. I like it "come on baby light my fire". Wow.. as the song keeps going, i like it more and more. Very different, I like the creativeness.

I love that DJbooth.net is adding in some untraditional songs, I wasn't going to add this to my list but it is a good song and I like seeing that it isn't the same ole' same ole' here.
