Having successfully branched out from his Big Apple roots with G-Unit Philly and G-Unit South, rap mogul 50 Cent recently expanded his musical empire yet further with the launch of G-Note, an imprint devoted to sounds that fall outside the aggressive blueprint established by the parent label and its eponymous crew. Signee number two (after Phoenix representative Hot Rod), Charles City, Va. singer Governor provides a proper introduction to his hard-nosed brand of R&B on new single Wish Me Luck. Over a currently unknown beatsmith’s head-noddable, lightly gritty boardwork, the up-and-comer delivers a silky-smooth chronicle of his hustle. Providing moral support on the guest tip is none other than Gov’s label boss, who laces the front with some characteristically entertaining block talk of his own: “I’m ridin’ with the top down, trunk full of Yoda / Ghetto pharmaceutical, I move that Coca-Cola…” Digging Governor’s street-meets-soul style? Then keep it locked for release details on the artist’s yet-untitled junior album, scheduled to hit stores sometime in late 2011.

I could wish Governor luck, but based on this record I don't think he'll need much. Not when you have talent, that is. Along with a 50 Cent signing and co-sign, Governor's table is ready (so to speak).

Kinda weird, yet hot at the same time. It's definitely a unique sound.

I like it when artists take some chances with their vocals, and the Governor doesn't disappoint.
His rhymes are tight, and he isn't afraid to croon out some of those high notes. A smooth, but not outstanding beat rounds things out, but the Gov is the real star here. |

50 Cent is cashing in those feature checks lately, especially with up and coming breakthrough artists. Props to both of them though - they need a big name artist to buzz the record and help them break through, and 50 Cent is staying hungry but also cashing in $200k for every 43 sec of rapping LOL.
As for the song, easy to see why Governor was able to recruit Curtis. Mad talent all the way especially on the vocals, and it's refreshing to see him remain a highlight of the song rather than get shadowed off 50 and the beat. |

I was digging this - Governor's definitely got that real soul voice. I would have liked to have heard some more writing and lyricism from the man though - a lot of the track feels like the hook.
I'm sure I'll be hearing more from the man soon. Let's do it.
