Being young, fresh and fashionable is no walk in the park, particularly in the midst of the worst economic slump since the “Great” one.  Thus, three enterprising Columbus, Ohio natives have decided to unionize in order to get the respect they deserve.  With their Fly Union movement, lyricist Jerreau Smith and emcee/producers JaySwif and Iye hope to make a Beatles-sized mark on today’s cultural landscape.  It’s a tall order—are they up to the challenge?  Beats me, but, judging by the group’s Booth debut, they can most definitely put together some killer tunes.  On this cut off their new Value Pack (Vol. 1) mixtape (the first in a monthly series of 4-track street releases), the trio, along with G.O.O.D. Music‘s Big Sean, head out to get Poed Up with a few ladies.  Of course, not just any girl will do; over Monkey Wrench‘s laid-back synth boardwork, the the up-and-comers emphasize that anyone below an ‘8’ need not apply.  It’s clear that these Midwesterners have the confidence necessary to make it big; those looking to get even more familiar with the Fly.U movement can download a copy of their first Value Pack mixtape (available now online).

Most of the time I try to stay away from records with liquors or drinking insinuations in the title. This was an exception. One of the only titles in our last batch of review records that everyone on our staff enjoyed. Nice to hear a new name in Midwest music.

This sounds sounds like a song to a video game. I'm thinkin final fantasy or Zelda. This song was ok, kinda board me, Sean sounds like a certain Toronto MC.

unique sound but it gets kind of repetitive. I've heard better from Big Sean in the past too.

The cool beat and Sean verse made this a Rotation-stuff to me. Hook is nice! and the rest two verses are just aiight (too many recycled bars) ... nuthin major here but will get few more spins.

This beat is great! Fly.Union was average, but Big Sean killed this, like he usually does. The hook was good too. Its cool to see a new midwestern artist doin their thing. 3.5 out of 5

As already written, the sound is great, Big Sean is good and Fly Union is mediocre. I love the music but the song gets repetitive quickly
