Here in the Booth, hardly a day goes by that we’re not introduced to a promising up-and-comer grinding nonstop to secure his Place in the Game. One of several debuts in tonight’s lineup (see also: first features from Steve Liriks and Jackie Chain), J. Capri stakes his own claim on future greatness on this new joint, the latest single off his forthcoming EP. Majestic lives up to his name, flipping a string-drenched soul sample into a fittingly epic backdrop for Capri’s gruffly-flowed verses, which find him cutting braggadocio with allusive wit. Established Booth fave, freestyle series alum and fellow North Carolina representative King Mez takes over on the middle, delivering bars liberally spiced with memorable turns of phrase: “It’s proof like Everclear when you’re hearin’ my severe truth, it’s like I started drivin’ a car in gear two.” While finding one’s Place in the Game is a long and arduous process, I have a feeling J. Capri will have no trouble securing a regular spot in the Booth – but what do you think, readers? Those who like what they’re hearing can expect more where this came from on Resume Respect, due out in November.

Aside from the Twins hat that Capri is sporting in his profile photo, I have no beef with him or this song. The production is on point, Mez is always good for a solid 16 (check his Booth profile for further proof), and the end result is a dope record.

Damn, a Bagger Vance reference. No one saw that coming.
Dude's (obviously) got a solid, punchline driven flow. Nice. My only real complaint is that the sad soul sample doesn't fit the theme of the song. Other than that, on repeat. Bring on more from Capri. |

Solid track and I can most definitely agree with friggidy about J. Capri and his growth, it's exponential. Loved the track and how Capri and Mez came together on this one. On Repeat

Song was dope...I like the feel it gives. Mez compliments the track nicely. Capri has grown as an artist, i cant wait to hear his next project.

I agree with Nathan S, the sample does not match the subject here. also, King Mez did not add anything to do this track that Capri himself could not handle on his own.
