Gift of Gab - Dreamin'
Artist: Gift of Gab
Featuring: Brother Ali
Producer: Headnodic
Album: Escape to Mars
Label: Quannum Projects
They say that in the Bay they do things a little different, and if you need proof that the saying’s true you need look no further than Northern California, an area overflowing with creative emcees, including the always swift-tongued Gift of Gab - who’s deservedly making his debut on DJBooth with his new cut Dreamin’. Over an appropriately dreamlike beat from Headnodic (of the Crown City crew), Gift of Gab drops another one of his trademark verbally acrobatic, alliterate flows, pausing only long enough to bring on guest verses from the always quality Minneapolis native Brother Ali and the consistently dope Del the Funky Homosapien (who’s maybe the Bay’s craziest rapper, and that’s saying something). Dreamin’ is off Gift of Gab’s upcoming album Escape to Mars, due out November 3 and can be downloaded now on Gift’s MySpace page. Keep it locked to DJBooth.net for more from this promising Bay Area artist.

My favorite song of the day. I listened to this selection 3-4 times before I moved onto another record this morning. This is what hip hop is all about. Production that complements, but doesn't take away from the emcees on display.

First off, if you haven't heard Gift of Gab's ridiculously dope Alphabet Aerobics, go do your homework and get back to me. Second, this track is bananas. Gab x Del x Ali = the kind of hip-hop more artists don't make cause they can't. End of story.

For a hit of the raw uncut hip-hop that's all about flowing with impeccable ability and writing of the highest caliber, "Dreamin" is where it's at ... BANGER!!!

Not too many people can successfully delivery like this but dude cast a spell on me. Remind me of Eminem. The production is beyond sick with relevant samples that add flavor.
