As a member of the Aftermath production team, Focus has gotten the opportunity to work with some of hip-hop’s biggest names (even making a few beats for the still-unheard Detox along the way). On his new single, Shine, he snagged a couple of the ‘Math’s finest, Bishop Lamont and Busta Rhymes, and assists with one of his very own club banging beats. All three bring enough energy for a hit, but when you’re signed to a label that is notorious for constantly pushing back its artist’s projects, it will take a massive viral bandwagon for Shine to propel Focus’ rap career. Check back in later this year to see if things have cleared up.
Seems like tryin to dip back into late '90s early '00s era style is gettin popular but flows just aren't hot. Busta sounds nostalgic as hell but its just not enough
This dude too old to try to come out now (or at least he looks and sounds old). Busta should have done it all by himself because he is the one that put the hot vibe on the track.
Donjonjon: First off, that slice of pizza is HUGE. Second, DJBooth has contemplated a 10-star scale. The problem with a scale that large is that it becomes too hard to judge the difference between a '3' or a '4' and a '6' or '7'. A scale that's only 1-5 is straight forward, like a lettering system in school. If you have any thoughts, would like to hear them!!
Busta is straight up "NASTY" on this track. This song was written for Busta and not Focus. I don't know who is but he should hand over his royalties over to Busta. Did I mention that Busta kills it. BUSTA you need to take this track from this fool. Even Bishop sounds good. Overall, this is club STOMPER!!!
I'm giving it a 4. I like the production work on it. Nothing too out of the way but still not boring and fact remains that BUSTA (in case u thought he was getting soft) can kill a track at will. There's no other way to describe him other than crazy.
Busta is a beast, Bishop Lamont is following and Focus was decent… I can see this being a banger, one can make crazy moves on the dance floor, this is gives you motivation.
