Thanksgiving ‘09’s come and gone, but it’s never a bad time to count your blessings. On unreleased cut I’m Grateful, Virginian emcee K-Beta (previously heard on J-$crilla‘s No Love and Thad Reid‘s Life Soldiers) does just that, reflecting on the spiritual war going on around us, the healing power of music and the many things people take for granted. His number-one blessing? “I’m healthy – after the day that I run out of tracks to destroy, I have a life that I’ll be able to relax and enjoy.” Beatsmith Switch sets an appropriately mellow, dreamy mood, backing Beta’s philosophical musings with a chopped guitar-organ sample, and singer Nia K. Lewis tops the record off with some soulful chorus vocals. Positive-minded jams, particularly those with spiritual themes, are almost guaranteed to earn acclaim in the Booth, and I see no reason why Grateful should be an exception. If K-Beta’s insightful rhymes leave you craving more, keep it locked. This cut isn’t slated to appear on any forthcoming project, but you can rest assured we’ll bring you all the latest tunes from this promising up-and-comer.

Yet another DOPE emcee from the DMV. Great vibe here. Focus is on the words, but the production stands on its on two as well. Unreleased? This type of music should never remain "unreleased." Thus... a DJBooth feature.
Sidebar: Try this one with a good set of headphones. You'll thank me later.

The flow was the highlight on here, no doubt. Thanks to the artists that submitted this! Could have used a harder chorus, but the bars made up for it.

I think we are all thankful for this amazing hip-hop website. :)
This song is tight!!! K-Beta is doing great things on the verses, and if this song is any indicator, we should all look out for him in the future. The production isn't my favorite per say, but doesn't bring the track down at all. K-Beta, you are officially on my radar, sir. |

I feel like people might not be fully appreciating the lyrical complexity of Beta's lines. It took me at least three listens to really dig out all the metaphors and wordplay, I suggest you put this one on repeat. Definitely one of those tracks that gets better with every listen.
