Jarren Benton - Losin It
Artist: Jarren Benton
Featuring: SMKA
Producer: Kato
Album: SMKA Presents: A Kato Production
Label: Funk Volume
It’s official, ladies and gentlemen: Jarren Benton is Losin’ It. That is, assuming he had “it” to begin with. Though the ATL buzzmaker, freestyle series alum and 2012 SXSW showcase participant has always had a screw loose, the latest single off beatsmith Kato‘s forthcoming full-length may be his most diabolical opus to date. The recent SMKA inductee keeps it characteristically gritty and street-ready-ready on the production tip, layering music-box arpeggios and string stabs over a bass-booming rhythm section. And Benton’s bars? If you can think back to 2009, when I marveled at the emcee’s channeling of early Slim Shady (complete with cartoonish sound effects) on Booth debut Skate, you can take what I said then and multiply it by three—Benton’s wildly inventive, polysyllabically-rhymed chronicle of antisocial behavior is enough to make even the biggest fan of current Em nostalgic for his hungrier years. To top it all off, he drops a tantalizing hint regarding what might follow his next mixtape (due out in May): “Freebasin With Kevin Bacon; next is Nicolas Cage.” For more hot beats and fresh guest features, check out SMKA Presents: A Kato Production when it hits the ‘net April 26.

I am not sure that there has ever been a better song title in the history of music to describe the artist performing it. Kudos all around - Kato knows exactly where Jarren's "wheelhouse" sits.

Nice early Marshall Mathers flow on this joint by Jarren. Cool bumping beat by Kato. I'll definitely give it a few spins in the MP3 player.
