LMS - Problem
Artist: LMS
Producer: Ozny
Album: The Last Shall Be First
Label: New Era Recording Company
Houston, we have a Problem, and his name is LMS. This Hialeah, Florida native may be new to our front page, but the title of his first feature tells you just about everything you need to know about him and his high-caliber collaborators. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, this mixtape track finds LMS, Far As I Can See emcee Saheed, and Grey-Haired Bostonian REKS rocking the mic over Ozny‘s blend of soft vocals from Sylvia James and hard-hitting percussion. The headliner’s creative trash talk (“N*gga actin’ like we’re buddy-buddy. N*gga you’re a fuddy-duddy, molded into a gangsta like thuggy putty”) and REKS aggressively vivid rhymes are right on target but, for my money, Saheed’s explosive, relentlessly-flowed middle bars are the highlight of a cut filled with standout performances. Whichever flavor of lyrical fire you prefer, though, there’s no denying that this track’s a Problem. Those who like what they’re hearing can find more on LMS’ The Last Shall Be First LP, due out December 7.

My favorite song of the tonight. Everything about it is dope. Ozny's production sets the mood, the emcees each deliver on their verses, and the overall feel is true hip-hop.
Thanks for the premiere, LMS! |

Man, the tracks are straight fire today. I've honestly never heard LMS before, but the man absolutely killed this one. And I'm loving the vocals from James, it's a subtle touch but it really takes the beat to the next level.

Doesn’t lack lyrically but ain't liking the backing instrumental at all. Sorry LMS, it's not you, it's the beat.

Those crispy drums and Sylvia's vocals are fine as hell BUT that deep bassline is coming off as too noisy/static on my subs. I'll pass.

my brother LMS put forth a great track. All 3 MC's kill it (Saheed=blacked out) and the beat is perfect.
Another wonderful example of the great talent that resides in South Florida. |

Now THIS is a monster hip hop joint! I agree with the review and most of the comments. Beat: Very dope Lms: Tight, laid back style. Saheed: Wow! Definitely the hardest verse on this track...outshined the phuck out everyone! Reks: As usual, one of the illest underground emcees of our time. Beat was solid and I agree with tophat on the bassline, but the nice vocals from "Sylvia" is what made the beat so much props to her for blessing these emcees with something proper to rhyme over.
Is NY in the building? Holla @ me. Bk all day. Hip hop always! |

The beat here is just average. LMS sounds somewhat "old school" lyrically. Not really feelin him on here. Second rapper is OK, but he sounds like 100 other rappers that are in underground NYC right now. This is just OK...
