GhostWridah - Window Cracked
Artist: GhostWridah
Featuring: Freeway
Producer: Rem, cuts by DJ NvS Styles
Album: American Alien
Label: The L.Y.F.E Music
Upon a first glance at his Booth track record, GhostWridah seems to tackle the same topics as a great many other rappers: cash, luxury goods, the pursuit of fame, and so on. What, then, sets the Miami phenom apart from the pack? A little something called substance. On Window Cracked, the official lead single off his forthcoming street album, the freestyle alum once again showcases his knack for digging deep and rejuvenating rap’s most commonly-attacked themes – in this case, that of inner-city poverty. Rem handles production duties, serving up the lushest funk/soul sampled beat I’ve heard in a minute (complete with a dead prez-sampled chorus courtesy of DJ NvS Styles) as the Panhandle State repper reports live from the mean streets, proving that, as much as he’s enjoying the fruits of his labors, success has neither taken the ‘hood out the man nor the man out the ‘hood. The ideal wingman for such a journey (and a fellow freestyle series contributor), Freeway rides shotgun, lacing the front with some characteristically gruff flows. Digging this dispatch from the block? There’s plenty more where this came from on Ghost’s DJBooth-hosted American Alien mixtape, scheduled to drop April 25.

I only give it a 3 because I didn't care for the sound of Freeway on this track. I like Freeway, and his flow was decent, but his voice just ruined the track for me until the pause chorus break. Ghostwridah was refreshing to the track, made it "healthy" and spit exactly what you would expect from him. I'd give 4.5 if it wasn't for the annoyance at the beginning of Freeways voice over powering the production.

I agree ^^ Freeway was a miss on this - Ghost was solid but this isn't a lead single.

GhostWridah continues to prove - beat selection, collabo choices, song themes - why he is one of the most impressive young artists in the game.
Free kills this. Kills. This.

Easily a 3.5 or 4... Not a big fan of Freeway, but he really wasn't so bad on this.

Freeway didn't really do this track justice. That beat is dope though.

Yo, Freeway kills it. Oh me and Z must be listening to the same song. Overall, Ghostwridah does well in keeping pace with Freeway and adds up to a job well done.
