Sometimes you don’t even have to listen to a song to know it’s going to be dope, and that was exactly the case when Idle Warship’s Go Brooklyn landed in my inbox this morning. First, any song that uses the epicenter of hip-hop, Brooklyn, as its background is almost guaranteed to come correct. Second, if you didn’t know, Idle Warship is comprised of Talib Kweli (dope rapper), Philly native Res (dope singer) and Toronto based Graph Novel (another dope singer). And as if that wasn’t enough, they also added a verse from Skyzoo, whose new album The Salvation was dope, and some atmospheric, unraveling production work from Oh No (oh yes). That, my friends, is a lot of dopeness on one track. Manhattan may be making it, but Brooklyn keeps on taking it. Go Brooklyn is off Idle Warship’s new, Mick Boogie affiliated album Party Robot, set to drop next week.

Would it be too much to ask for one more Skyzoo verse on this? Yeah, probably. But why not ask rhetorically? Looking forward to this new mixtape. Mick Boogie NEVER puts his name on something that isn't LEGIT.

Really like the beat... eclectic vibe. I sense some reggae (bassline), some rock and the best of hip hop at the same time.

I'm an Idle Warship fan, the girls have such a distinctive, artistic sound (I can only think of Gwen Stefani to compare)!

Talib is just a genius! Skyzoo is very comfortable on the demanded dopeness level.

Really looking forward to the Party Robot release, especially if it's anything like Go Brooklyn. Dopeness.

On a side note, Res is one of the most slept on artists in the country. I still play her 2001 album "How I Do" on the regular. If you don't know, get informed.

The mood this song puts you in is great. Best part by far is skyzoo shouting out Brandon Roy. Lets go RIP CITY

I'm sorry, not what i expected at all, the production is too distracting, it doesn't help the artist get their point accross, it takes too much away.
