Club bangers are standard fare in R&B and hip-hop; they top the Billboard charts with regularity, blaze the clubs, and get everyone moving. What distinguishes one up-tempo single from another? High-profile collaborators help – just ask newcomer J. Blue. California’s in the house on Hey, the new collab from the L.A.-based singer and Long Beach’s Snoop Dogg. J. Blue takes the lead on this single; he’s living a player’s life, showing off his hot car and taking shots at the bar. Veteran Snoop swings by to drop a few laid-back verses; his slow drawl is a sure commercial draw. The two mesh well over a sluggishly grinding beat from Cali producers the NeXmen. These beatmakers have already jumped on the J. Blue train, signing him to their new label on Universal Motown, NeXLyfe. The NeXmen plan to put out J. Blue’s debut, The Blue Book: From the Block to the Bed, though a release date has not yet been established.
J. Blue sounds like chris brown. Chris brown has a good voice but still that wont help him at all. the song is straight though, Not a banger but nice. 3Stars.
I do have to agree with Charm that he does sound like Chris Brown... but I do like this and I'm going to put it on my driving playlist. Snoop's good too.
Alright. Dude does sound like Chris Brown. Nothing I really liked today again though theres this song by T.I called "Life of the Party" featuring R Kelly thats pretty good to me this site needs to post it up. It is out there as a single or atleast I hear it on the Digital Cable hip hop music stations.
oooooo i lke this! hiz voice iz SEX-C!...snoop did aight (for the first time) but snoop actual-e brought it down to a 4...would have been a 5 but o well. STILL HOTT!
Hey Wow,
For this week only we are popping them up sometime between 6-9 Eastern time (3-6 Pacific). This is temporary, since we are down a person (Z) we are setting them live early so we can easily troubleshoot any potential issues. Once Z gets back up next week The Booth will be back to its regularly scheduled programming - 7-8 tracks a day posted at midnight.
has a hint of chris brown in him, but he also got a little harder side to him, a grittier side, so he can't fully be compared to Brown, or a carbon copy. He's just a little more street. I wasn't really feelin the production, I mean, sure it bumped, but the strings and whole vibe was just mediocre. Snoop drops a decent verse, but the topics are the same old and it is just a decent single.
I think J Blue's voice is just a bit high pitched for this west-coast-club track. Its been a while since I've heard Snoop actually featured on a joint though. But all in all I think this is a good one that I'd play again
J Blue;C Brown...Hmmm! I agree with SLOWLY...production is ok...its got bounce...but subject matter is nothing new! Almost Mundane!Wait...it is Mundane!
Hey everyone, new here at djbooth. This is my first comment to!
Lyrics could have been better, beat is banging though and nowadays thats what makes a beat a hit. This will reach some charts for sure.
