As much as one’s higher cognitive processes might cry out against reliving past heartbreaks, there’s nothing easier than falling back in love—and/or bed—with an old flame. Just ask Hi-Rez, who finds himself caught in the web of a past love on the brand new X-Problems—a Booth-exclusive world premiere. Over Joel Johnston‘s moody production, an intricate yet understated mix of of piano/guitar-loops, sampled backing vocals and gritty percussion, the Fort Lauderdale up-and-comer describes how a smoking session with his former girl developed into a nostalgic heart-to-heart. Predictably, Rez leaves with more questions than answers: “Will we pretend to be just friends? Because I miss you / Plus it wouldn’t work out, with what we’ve been through.” Fellow Floridian rhymesayer QuESt guests on the back, attempting to persuade an ex of his own to let bygones be bygones and start over with a clean slate. A down-to-Earth jam that readers will likely find all-too-relatable, X-Problems is set for inclusion on a yet-untitled project dropping later this year. Keep it locked for release details, as well as the latest tunes!

Hi-five to Hi-Rez for the premiere! Good vibe, solid listen. I would have liked another verse, though.

Pretty solid hip hop cut, Rez had some dope lyricism on here. He went hard, gotta recognize the effort.

I'm so glad Rez is finally getting more attention and developing more as an artist. Another verse would've made it a better track but none the less this is great!

I kinda like Joel's production, but I'm not feelin Hi-Rez' flow on here. It's a decent song overall, but just not something I would put into any rotation...

QuESt is my MOST watched for this year I'd say, everything he dropped last year was nothing short of mastery. Hi-Rez dropped a killer catchy hook!

solid effort, but it just don't have that "pow" to it, you guys know what I'm getting at, his flow is on point, but the track as a whole just doesn't have that "recoil pow" for me.

I think people may be being a little hard on Rez. I liked the track as a whole. The only thing that I would do without would probably be the production. Seemed a bit too distracting at times when you are trying to really listen to what both emcees are saying. QuESt is one of my favorites for a reason. The man really excels with whatever beat he spits on. Good stuff.

This dude is see thru. would go with any trend that is popular how dresses, talks with unnatural slang and weed smokin. Straight up poser but I could see how some wealthy, middle class naive white kids would like him. Not trying to hate, if he can make a career in music. Good luck to him. Just not my thing....really into blackalicious the craft right now and the fugees the score real music will always be relevant!
