Jarren Benton - P.I.M.P.
Artist: Jarren Benton
Producer: Jarren Benton
Album: Unreleased
Label: Funk Volume
Though Jarren Benton‘s first featured cut, Skate, evoked Eminem comparisons due to its quirky production, hyperbolic humor, and cartoonish sound effects, this previously-unreleased record (making its online premiere here at DJBooth.net) showcases an entirely different side of the ATL up-and-comer. For one thing, P.I.M.P. has a much more Southern vibe; while retaining the expressive vocal cadences that defined his flow on the previous feature, he amps up the swagger (or “flickiness,” if you prefer) considerably, drawling each final syllable as he lets listeners know that paper is always priority numero uno. The artist’s own production, complete with a pitch-shifted “feelin’ like a pimp” sample behind the hook, heightens the far-out ambience with spacey choral synths. Fans of this soon-to-be-signed up-and-comer will want to keep their eyes glued to the Booth come spring – this April, we’ll premiere Benton’s contribution to our exclusive freestyle series.

WHOA! The beat goes concrete!!!! Jarren smashed this (as he sort of bit Ludacris' flow on Ciara's "Oh".) He still added his own original twist to it (or that might have just been a little bit of Andre 3000 biting.) Either way, Ludandrecris 3000...I mean Jarren Benton brought it. BANGER.

His flow is simple and not that good but I cant lie it dont really matter because the synths and bass on this is dope!! The whole concept on this is creative and he executed it good! Jarren Benton caught my eye already I be lookin out for his upcoming music. Fresh music right here!

Benton is definitely real, I heard this on his myspace page when I looked him up after hearing his first featured song...
This is way slower of a vibe than "Skate," but that doesn't compromise dude's style. I love his flow/lyrics on the verses, and the hook makes you wanna sing/rap along. The production had me noddin my head. By the way, I can't find anywhere on the internet so far where i can buy or download his songs, which i really want for my ipod, but i will definitely be watching out for this kid. Classic... love it. |

I cannot help but feel honored to drop gems from Mr. Benton. This is our second online premiere of his work and again he is raking up the quality feedback.
Nice flow, great work behind the boards, and wonderful wordplay. Keep it up!

Like the beat. Michael I do see the comparison to Ciara's Oh track. Like the voice change in I live in my own galaxy line.

I wasn't feeling this one. I liked skate, and still wish I could play it somewhere other than on a djbooth player (nobody, anywhere, has it for download).
This just lacks originality, and i think the beat needs proper speakers to do it justice. as far as i can tell, though, it's a primitive sound. Can't deny his flavor though. I'll listen to it again, but this isn't all that for me. |

Such a unique flow; its almost old school at times and then so new its next level. At time he reminds me of Lil Wayne, at others Em comes to mind, dude is just sick wit it.
