John Public - Jack & Ginger Ale

Producer: 6th Sense

Album: Re-Gifted: Thrift Shop Experience

Label: Unsigned

Most rappers, when asked their drink of choice, would spring for something trendy and expensive – Patron, Rozay, perhaps Siroc. Ever the populist, however, John Public prefers a glass of Jack & Ginger Ale. Making its world premiere right here at DJBooth.net, this newly-leaked mixtape cut finds the freestyle series alum pouring himself a tall glass and embarking upon a trip down Memory Lane. Over the hard-hitting yet wistful boardwork of Booth regular 6th Sense, the emcee gives fans a little insight into his own past as well as reminiscing about a few friends whose lives didn’t go quite as they had planned: after revisiting the stories of a girl he lost after his inability to stay sober landed him in jail, and a school acquaintance who had “seen one too many scenes with Johnny Depp from Blow.,” he returns to the present day to describe his own reality, ending by raising a a toast to ...everyone with dreams like mine.” Bittersweet but ultimately hopeful, this thought-provoking joint and much more will be found on John Public’s Booth-sponsored Re-Gifted: Thrift Shop Experience mixtape, set to hit our mixtape page for free streaming and download December 7.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11633	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Add Public to a growing list of artists whose material is both entertaining and thought-provoking. If you like listening to music from an emcee who actually has something to say, there is a lot to enjoy on "Jack & Ginger Ale." Personally, I like Jake and Coke, but I won't hold that against my friend. Follow @DJBooth
