When it comes to music, I like my tracks like most women like their intimate encounters: I don’t want a two minute song, and if I do come across one, it better be pretty damn good. With that in mind, Jay Beretta’s new single, The Setup, is here to make sure I don’t have to choose, leaving my ears satisfied with over five minutes of good music from beginning to end. This time around the Detroit native joins forces with Masspike Miles to spit his creative flow on the subject of grinding to success: “Ain’t no alarm clock/ cause I don’t ever snooze/ I reach my arms out/ and probably grab the moon.” The head-nodding, echoing production, supplied by Write Time, shines on the track, complimenting both Beretta’s high-caliber bars and Miles’ hypnotic hook. If you liked this track, be sure to check out Jay Beretta’s A Rough Road 2 the Stars project, dropping in March and guaranteed to please.

Immediately the production work of Write Time grabs your attention - which gets this record off to a great start (reminds me of some old T-Pain ish). Jay turns in another enjoyable effort and Miles reals make the hook his own (we need to hear more of this from him). Good stuff.

I agree with Z, that production nabs you from the get go.
The flow on the beat is hot. 3.5 stars.

Yo Booth people, I need some help on this one. The intro production uses a sample, but I can't place it. Z's right, it could be off an old T-Pain record. Anyone know? Or am I completely crazy.

Anyway, I've been banging this on repeat for the third time in a row now, so I've got no choice but to give it four stars. Dopeness.

Nathan, I may be wrong but it sounds like Kiss, Kiss to me.

Beat brought me in and kept me around for sure.

Not a subject matter for which you need to be doing a 5 minute long song. Doesn't lack lyrically, but just ain't feeling it.

The production either reminds me of "the search" using different instruments or an old school east coast song(wanna say roots or biggie or something), but i can't put my finger on it. average song, kinda played out concept with no new offerings 2.5
