Huey - Do Them Bad
Artist: Huey
Featuring: Murphy Lee
Producer: Kritical
Album: Redemption EP
Label: Que Records/EMI
Huey had the whole world Pop Lock & Drop-ping it way back in 2007, but since then new school St. Louis representer has largely faded into the background. Undaunted, and free from a restrictive deal with Hitz Committee, Huey’s back and determined to wipe the “one-hit wonder” tag from his name with the release of Do Them Bad, a booming, banging, shopping-obsessed new street single. Propelled by a large scale beat from producer Kritical, that, it must be said, lacks the addictive personality of previous singles like Pop, Lock and Aye, Huey’s lyrical work on Do Them Bad won’t have anyone making Illmatic comparisons. The rhymes are swag, swag and more swag, sentiments that fellow “where are they now?” rapper Murphy Lee (of St. Lunatics) echoes in a straightforward guest verse. Will Do Them Bad be the single that kills the one-hit-wonder talk? Will Huey find the Redemption he seeks? I’m frankly not sold, but we’ll find out soon in the comments below, and when his new album – the aforementioned Redemption - drops September 14.

This is St. Louis hip hop, take it or leave it. This sound has been around for as long as Nelly, Chingy and company started popping up on MTV James in early 2000's. Is it mind blowing, thought-provoking, or listen friendly outside the whip? No, not really. But if its played in the right surrounding, it bangs.

The production definitely bangs here. Huey's lyrics haven't improved much--but they never were that great in the first place. Murphy Lee did a good job. I like it, but mostly for the beat. DJ Z has it right, this sound is pretty much what St. Louis is known for hip-hop wise. People who break away from this pattern, like Nato Caliph or Black Spade, don't get recognized as much.

If I'm in the right mood I can dig something like this - call it a guilty pleasure - but as a general rule swag/shopping tracks aren't my things, and this isn't much different. Good to see Huey still making music, but this won't be what puts him back on.

Kritical's beat is my highlight. Just easy head tipping with that lil extra bump to it. I really liked Huey on tha last bit. other than that it's just an average track.

How many times can you make the same Ol'song over and over. Not to say this song is awful,but it's been done before.
