J. Ferb - Bullseye
Artist: J. Ferb
Producer: T.A.S.K. Production
Album: Chase the Dreams, Not the Competition
Label: Unsigned
Some up-and-coming emcees take a few shots in the dark before delivering something that truly resonates with Booth readers. Newcomer J Ferb, however, is hoping to hit the Bullseye on the very first try. The lead single off his latest street album, this cut finds T.A.S.K. Productions (the beatsmith behind Everliven Sound‘s recently-featured What Should He Do) serving up a pensive sampled-piano instrumental as the Memphis native celebrates his artistic progress to date, assuring us that he’ll only fly higher with time. And, lest listeners jump to the conclusion that the gruffness of his flow is an accident, the artist offers a few words of clarification on the back end: “Naw, can’t re-record that; let ‘em hear my strain, this is really important.” Think J. Ferb hit this one right on the mark? If so, you can hear more fresh new tunes on his Chase the Dreams, Not the Competition mixtape, released on April 20, and available now online.

Anyone who gives love to the greatest basketball player of all-time (Michael Jordan) and my hometown team (The Bulls) in a hook automatically gets a feature in the Booth (and I am only sorta kidding).
In all seriousness, though, dope production from T.A.S.K, and an overall impressive Booth debut for J. Ferb. I want to hear more...

The production is nice on this, liking the piano sample. Liking Ferb's flow on this, fits the beat well.

Have never heard of J Ferb, but his voice and flow really have me interested in hearing more. Piano in the production was a big plus. Gives off a very relaxing vibe that I could easily zone out on. This was a good track. Worth a listen... or two.

Good production, sounds like something Common would spit over. Ok flow, good average production. Probably get the rotation for my man's father Michael Jordan. I been shooting around campus with Marcus last year so any mention on Michael flies with me.

Mix could use some work, but the production is certainly ear appealing. Ferb's flow is ehhhh rotation worthy. I'd have to hear a bigger sample of his stuff before I pass judgement.

Definitely feeling the piano sample, and can't hate on the man's verses. What's next?

Im digging the sample and production on this one. He does lightweight sound like Weezy before Carter 3. His lyrics are pretty solid so I can't really complain about this song.

Mix is iffy, he kind of sounds like Lil' Wayne on this, might be the flow he delivered on this track. If it got remixed I'd give it another listen.

"He sounds kind of like Lil Wayne on this" - The 149th
Not hearing it. Sure his voice is a little raspy, but otherwise their flows really aren't similar. Not being from the Chi I'm not giving an automatic star for the Bulls reference like Z, but I'm still digging this. Solid three stars.

As far as voice I agree it is similar to little wayne. This song is pretty hot, they should have made the Louder sample from Commons track a little Louder, lol pun.

Nice performance and pretty good lines here and there but nothing really sticks out. Two straight-through listens from me but that's all. 2.5
