Jake Miller - Hey You!
Artist: Jake Miller
Producer: KickDrums
Album: TBD (Promo Single)
Label: eOne
Musical superstars’ backgrounds are as varied as their work, but a common denominator among their diverse histories is the early sense of being a little… different. For many, the realization that one doesn’t quite fit with one’s peers is alienating—not so for Jake Miller. On new promo single Hey You!, the 18-year-old rap hopeful dismisses the idea of conforming to the pack, stating: ”I’d rather live a life that normal people would find surreal.” Just a Game beat crew The Kickdrums keep it light and sunny on the production tip, blending bouncy organ chords with a leisurely rhythm section, and Miler comes with good-humored rhymes to match. Cheery vibe or no, though, the mic skills Miller showcases here are dead serious. Staring at a conversational, the Panhandle State native builds to a flurry of double-time rhymes that puts many established spitters to shame. If you’re digging it, why not take the artist’s advice and Tweet “Jake Miller just killed it” using the handy button below? Oh, and be sure to keep your browsers locked on DJBooth.net for all the latest news and tunes from this promising up-and-comer.

Based on the vibe of this song (and Jake's promotional photo) you might not take Miller seriously as an emcee. That would be dope. Two features in the Booth and the kid has blown me away. Great energy, catchy personality, and a nice flow. A solid combo for a future in this game...

Dude can spit. I wasn't feeling the hook, and that Wayne line was weak, but it was good enough to put him on my radar.

This track is ok. I love his energy and personality, but I don't think the rapid fire flow really works for him. It sounded a little awkward and forced. However, for some reason, I kind of like him, maybe its his personality or how much fun it sounds like he's having.
