Kandid McFly - Leave My Side
Artist: Kandid McFly
Producer: 8 Attack Productions
Album: The Opening Act
Label: Unsigned
As I’m sure the fellas will agree, few things could be more infuriating than hearing a girl you have feelings for complain of being mistreated by her man. Be that as it may, such situations can quickly turn even uglier when a third party throws his emotions into the mix rather than working through the appropriate authorities – just ask Ohio up-and-comer Kandid McFly. Leave My Side, the second of three exclusive world premieres off the artist’s forthcoming street album, finds 8 Attack Productions serving up a soulful, keyboard-driven instrumental as McFly spins a narrative that begins as your typical tale of a guy “friend-zoned” by a girl who’s already taken, but takes a dark turn when physical abuse enters the picture. The end result, while melodramatic, is about as harrowing as a rap record gets – and it leaves no doubt about Kandid McFly ‘s skills as a storyteller. If you appreciated this emotionally affecting jam, keep it locked; the emcee is set to bring us one more premiere in the lead-up to the September 8, arrival of his new, DJBooth.net sponsored mixtape, The Opening Act.

Not many artists realize that you can be a storyteller, discussing "real" topics (you know, as in everyday life kinda stuff) AND make catchy, enjoyable music. It just takes talent. One doesn't have to be in place of the other. Kandid is able to do both and its impressive. I think the kid's got a real future.

Kandid does just as his name says... he keeps it honest and REAL. Lyrics were up to par with the production and I can honestly say, I was feeling everything about this track. Good song Kandid.

Storytelling at its finest, and that production redefines smooth. Kandid seems to just get better every time, which means there's no telling how good he's going to get over the next year. Get up on the man no before he leaves you behind.

Whoa, this was just pure talent put to a real topic, and it took some balls to take it to the ending that it was. He coulda easily went with a happy ending, but took it down a darkside. It's one of those songs that truly gets some emotion out of you. Remember TQ album, definitely reminiscent of that
