There’s nothing fast or easy about the grind to make a living in the rap game but, as the Morton Salt girl could tell you, “When it rains, it pours.” Having put in overtime to plant the seeds for future success, Michigan emcee Jon Connor takes a moment to luxuriate in the fruits of his labors on freshly-leaked EP cut Money Come Fast. Making its world premiere right here on our frontpage, this ambitious joint finds Booth-approved beat crew SMKA working their magic behind the boards, serving up a mellow, street-ready bass-keyboard groove as the freestyle series alum extols the virtues of hard work and resilience “I was grindin’ since 11, before I even scratched the surface / doubters that would try to deter me only made me determined.” As for his less successful rivals, Connor has a few theories on why they’re unable to make any progress “I run amok, you n*ggas stuck, your shoes is made of semen.” Gross—but dope! Those who like what they’re hearing can find more fresh tunes on DJBooth.net, The Beat Thang beat machine’ and SMKA’s The Report EP, a seven-track project showcasing a variety of Midwestern and Northeastern buzzmakers.

Not feelin Connor on this, I don't think his flow works here and the production match is off.

Connor is on the verge of being a problem. I know a lot of people use that expression in hip hop - and I seldom do, might I add - but it rings true here. You can hear the beastly aggresion that he has for his craft when he touches the mic. And over quality production from SMKA? Bias or not (haha), this is super solid.

Jon Conner is very dope! Kind of is a more versatile version of Ace Hood.

I'm a tough critic but the Terminator came strong on this track. Has an old-school flavor to it which is hard to mimic. Always love hearing somebody new to listen to. Not sure his voice stands out enough to be in "Elite Status" but only the first track I've heard from him. 3.50 but I'm rounding up. Respect.

Good track. I feel like every time there is a SMKA beat, it ends up being the highlight of the song. However, I feel like Connor goes in and definitely commands attention. His flow and cadence are on point.

Enjoyed the song. The production though was on point, it will be in rotation.
