GLC - If I Never ft. Trouble Man
Artist: GLC
Producer: Keezo Kane
Album: Untitled Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
Nostalgia’s a powerful thing, even for those whose early years were filled with hardship and struggle; new mixtape leak If I Never finds G.O.O.D. Music‘s GLC looking back to his days in the streets of Chicago, pondering the complex chain of events that allowed him to escape the hood and wondering if he could have chosen differently given the circumstances. As Gangsta L. Crisis meditates on his regrets, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to pursue his musical dreams, Trouble Man‘s passionate hook and backing vocals add to the record’s bittersweet tone. Keezo Kane‘s driving instrumental takes an equally soulful approach on the hook, accompanying the singer with sweeping strings and (what I believe is) accordion, but pares the beat back to a quiet, bass-driven groove when GLC steps up to the mic—the instrumental might actually be a little too subdued to make the most of his subtly melodic delivery. That’s a nitpick, though; this record’s heartfelt vibe may well earn the rapper some of his best Booth reviews to date. If you’re a fan, watch for GLC’s forthcoming, currently-untitled mixtape to hit the ‘net in the the last week of this month.

This song is pretty cool, but I think GLC needs a little more enthusiasm in his voice. His lyrics were pretty cool, though. The hook and production were both pretty good. Rotation.

GREAT beat. I don't think GLC's voice matches over it so that kind of brings it down a bit ... but it has deep lyrics so dat somewhat makes up for it... Trouble Man does a great job on the hook (smoooth) ... BANGER!!!

Even though GLC is really bad about returning e-mails, I can't hold that against him when he comes with music like this. All the elements fall into place nicely on "If I Never."

I agree with Mr.Top Hat, though
I liked the hook & the production, but I didnt think much of GLC on this. |

Meh, I like it. 'Big Screen' is one of my top 5 fav songs at the moment, so it's hard to compare this to that track. GLC is the deal though, GOOD music all the way!

Yea, the production was pretty nice, but I didn't like GLC's flow over it. This doesn't quite reach rotation for me, I'll give it a 2.5... The hook was pretty cool, the flow on the hook was just too simple and monotonous for me.

I like the production but the melody is a lil boring. Verses are good but hook could be better! It's solid but I've heard better
