Ghetto - Star of Da Show
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: Trunk Music Mixtape
Label: ST. Records
Having made a name for himself as a member of Termanology‘s ST. Da Squad, Lawrence, Massachusetts emcee Ghetto (side note: is anyone else surprised we haven’t featured a rapper by that name before now?) is getting ready to take center stage with the impending release of solo mixtape Trunk Music. Star of Da Show, the up-and-comer’s latest single and first Booth feature finds him spitting verses centered around his favorite topic (and, according to MySpace, his sole musical influence): money. Ghetto describes his hustle for cash with more panache than most, lacing the track with hard-nosed quotables like “N*ggas testin’ my skills, sayin’ I can’t rap/ That’s like sayin’ a n*gga with hands can’t clap.” and Northeastern heavyweight Statik Selektah adds to the freshness on the production trip, serving up a lush, upbeat sampled instrumental featuring catchy flute and bell accents. Does Ghetto have the star power necessary to make it to the top? This compulsively head-nodding cut is definitely a good omen, but we’ll have to wait till the rapper’s new mixtape hits the ‘net to find out for sure

I don't like to hear (or read in this case) that artists are only making music for money (it usually comes through in their music). But, with SS alongside its real hard not to sound dope.

As much as I like to support my MA people, I'm just not feeling Ghetto's flows. Feel like we've been there, done that, even with a beat like that from Statik. And I second Richard's take: how have we not featured a rapper named Ghetto before?

A straight through play that is enjoyable, he got his bars proper, but nothing that will keep me coming back to it.
