Grip Plyaz - Step Out
Artist: Grip Plyaz
Featuring: Aleon Craft
Producer: The Weathermen
Album: 6Pack Vol. 1: A Prelude to Purp, Wind & Fire
Label: Unsigned
Every city has a different feel, and no one can better express that feeling musically than natives of that particular town. So when two of Atlanta’s finest, Grip Plyaz and Aleon Craft, linked up for a song called Step Out, I was immediately reminded of my visits to the funk-infused music capitol of the South. Production-wise, The Weathermen get busier than a CPA during tax season, making this one sound and feel like the cool breeze of a downtown Atlanta evening. Grip and Aleon provide brilliant imagery that is surrounded by a dope, Sleepy Brown inspired hook. Though quotables are in excess - “Nah you can’t copy this, this ain’t Kinko’s!” - neither emcee outshines the other; which in this case is a good thing because it gives the listener the opportunity to appreciate what a good song Step Out is overall. If you’re appreciating the latest and greatest sound from the ATL So then go download Grip Plyaz’ 6Pack vol. 1: A Prelude to Purp, Wind & Fire project when it drops in June over at TSS (The Smoking Section).

These two do really good on this one, most song features has one artist outshining the other but they seem to compliment each other like Andre and Big Boi do in Outkast. Good song to roll with.

This was alright, not my personal type of music. Production was alright and the rapping was kinda slow to me. The Sleepy Brown on this track is nice though.

Really love the hook, it reminds me of something off OutKast's first album with songs like Playa's Ball. These two sounded good together and both have a fresh, new sound.

I love this. Big big fan of Aleon Craft. Everything from the brassy backdrop to the "Sleepy Brownish" feel on the chorus mirrors vintage Outkast.

Grip doesn't disappoint. the matching with Aleon Craft go well. The beat is banging and head-nodding. Definitely hitting the playlist.

Oh hells yeah. This one's got styles after styles after styles - especially on the production. One of the better smoothed out beats in recent memory. Feels too easy to make the Outkast comparison, but this sounds a little like some old school Aquemini ish.

This song, like its artist's stage name, grips you. I'm a fan (especially of the production work).

The video makes me like the song more. It's laid back, definitely a cruise-thru-the-city song. You almost have to live in Atlanta to really appreciate Gripp. It's like people who didn't like Snoop until they went to Cali and saw the places he mentions in his rhymes. as for Craft? What can ya say... that's the man!
