J.D. of Duality - True Dat
Artist: J.D. of Duality
Featuring: K. Sparks
Producer: Big Drew
Album: The Red & Blue Pill Mixtape
Label: JS Dunk Productions
Featured back in late May, Manic Monday #39 saw reader favorite K. Sparks joining forces with J.D. of Duality to serve heads across the ‘net a heaping helping of Soul Food. Now, the Booth-acclaimed collaborators have rejoined forces to cook up an insightful jam that’ll have our regulars saying, “True Dat!” On the newly-leaked mixtape cut (J.D.‘s first feature as a headliner), the Hollis, NY native and his Queens-based cohort flow around the concept of being true to oneself, delivering introspective verses liberally laced with expressionistic wordplay (“My worst enemy’s my inner-me”). Complete with an atmospherically catchy reversed-guitar (I think?) beat by Rap Saviors producer Big Drew and a rapped hook inspired by a line from Sparks’ verse on Young Son collabo Life (It’s Like This), this reflective, thought-provoking jam has all the makings of a Booth hit. J.D.‘s forthcoming street album has yet to receive a solid release date, but fans can rest assured that we in the Booth will bring you all the latest news and tunes.

The hook is simple but provides the perfect shift in mood, and boosts the song’s appeal greatly ... And this production right here! just pushes the track into an elite class of catchiness. Eerie sounding instrumental that is able to trigger interesting emotions and send listeners into a deeper train of thought and lyrics that are as well thought-out as they are smoothly delivered.

The beat is sick here. I loved K. Sparks on this one. He's always had mad lyrics but there was something deeper here

I like the production!!
Sounds like it's being rewinding but going forward?? IDK but It works!! J.D. does good and the hook is pretty good too!! Not a big K. Sparks fan but he actually sounds good to me here!! Finally flowed with the beat and sounded different than from his usual delivery!! Solid track!! |

Yes, that beat is awesome and annoying at the same time. After a while you get used to it, though, and the hook is simple but catchy. The verses are solid, what you would expect.
