Kandid McFly - Strung Out [Premiere]
Artist: Kandid McFly
Producer: 8 Attack Productions
Album: The Opening Act
Label: Unsigned
Good news, Kandid McFly fans: having recovered from March’s little bout of Stage Fright, the Ohio up-and-comer’s doing better than ever – in fact, he’s riding so high that he’s beginning to feel a little Strung Out. This newly-leaked track, the first of three Booth-exclusive world premieres off the artist’s forthcoming street album, finds McFly marveling over just how quickly things are moving for him, all because he put a little extra work in while the rest were relaxing; as he puts it over 8 Attack Productions’ head-noddable blend of piano and brass, “While you was at the crib with your friends watchin’ Star Wars, I was fist-fightin’ to get next on the ball court.” The man’s clearly got plenty of obstacles to surmount before he reaches the top (his credit score’s “lower than the hair on a new Chia Pet,” fellow artists are either openly hostile or crazier than Charles Hamilton...) but, with the skills and the work ethic he showcases here, it’s only a matter of time. McFly’s Booth-sponsored The Opening Act, is set to hit our mixtape page – in the meantime, keep it locked for two more exclusive cuts!

Kandid caught my ear earlier this year when he was introduced to us by producer 8 Attack. In just five months time he has shown tremendous growth as an emcee, and that is on display with "Strung Out."
The chorus isn't dynamic, during which his vocals need to be stronger and more defined, but he showcases all the tools to do big things. The honest, retro feel by 8 Attack on the beat helps.

I remember listening to Stage Fright and thinking, who the hell is this guy, he's dope, and I was glad he was on my radar after hearing this one.
I have to agree with Z, the chorus needs some work, but otherwise there's nothing to complain about here. The beat's nice, Kandid's flow is nice, just a nice track all around. Lyrical over-analysis: There's nothing wrong with being like Patrick Ewing in his prime, but that also means you'll never win a championship. I'm just saying.

Had to let the song grow on me a little. Nice effort here by Kandid. Not as great as Stage Fright but still good.
