Fly Union - Hard Sell
Artist: Fly Union
Producer: Fly Union
Album: The Greater Than Club
Label: Unsigned
When it comes to creating a market for their music, Jerreau Smith, JaySwif and Iye don’t tiptoe around the issue – they come right out and tell you that you need more Fly Union in your life. In other words, the Columbus, Ohio natives are fans of the Hard Sell. On this newly-released single, the trio give inquiring minds a glimpse of how they do business. Over their own lushly-sampled, jazz-inflected production work, the self proclaimed Beatles of the 21st century delineate their uncompromising philosophy on the grind, proudly affirming their single-minded commitment to getting that paper: “Bein’ broke in America don’t make no sense / And I’m a motherf*cking capitalist.” Topped off with a famed quote from go-getter extraordinaire Muhammad Ali, this joint is sure to have ambitious heads angling for entrance into The Greater Than Club. If that’s the case, plenty more “get rich music” awaits on F.U.‘s latest full-length, arriving on the ‘net April 26.

FlyU hasn't been featured at the Booth in a while, but we didn't forget about them. "Hard Sell" is nothing out of this world, but its a solid hip hop record. Cool, retro production under three emcees vibing out - the foundation of this genre. The chorus will be hit or miss for most, but I don't find the singing hard on the ears.

Wasn't feeling this song to much. The beat/production was good, but as far as flow goes, I wasn't feeling it.

I dig that beat A LOT. I thought their flows fit but the last minute of the track the steam died down. I also liked the Ali sample. I'd like to hear more from them.

I liked the beat, but grew a little tired of it after a while. The lyrics aren’t anything special, and the Delivery feels off. The hook has the same flaw as the verses; the vocals don’t really match the sound and pace of the beat. The Ali sample was cool, but this track still falls flat.
