M.A.S.H - Key To The City ft. Ade
Artist: M.A.S.H
Producer: XV [For Kingzmen Productions]
Album: Unreleased
Label: M.A.S.H Music
Two weeks ago, Newark twosome M.A.S.H made their Booth debut with We Run This, a record that, though it won praise for its energy, garnered largely negative reviews due to its prominent use of Autotune. Hoping to correct their less-than-ideal first impression, Mayday and Chris Reg are back with a new, unreleased cut. This time around, the twosome throw their hats into the rap-ballad ring, spitting civic-minded game to a female who holds the Key to the City. Over a synth-heavy, slow jam instrumental by none other than Booth favorite XV (here representing his own Kingzmen Productions) both emcees spit their share of quotable come-ons; if your sense of humor is as juvenile as mine, you’re sure to get a laugh out of the line, “That’s why she’s on the tip of my penis like ‘P.E.’, ” which, of course, segues into a little gym class-related innuendo. R&B guest feature Ade‘s hook and bridge vocals do feature a dash of Autotune, but the studio effect is used much more subtly than on M.A.S.H.‘s Booth debut. If Key‘s turned you into a fan, keep it locked to the Booth for more details on their forthcoming Mic Addict Stash House LP, which has yet to receive a solid release date.

I was feelin it. This sounds so much fresher than their last song. They flow on this beat well and Ade's hook is smooth.

This track is real cool. The difference between this feature and the last (besides the nice production work from XV) is that they dont claim to run anything they are not a part of yet and the autotune is used tastefully. I thought the vocals were very smooth, and the tuner was barely noticeable. This production from XV is just a perfect backdrop for those vocals and the emcee's flow.

Overall a solid record. The production work from my homie XV and the vocals from my dudes Chris and May all mesh real well. Ade even had me on the hook.
My biggest issues with collaboration is the uncomfortable nature of the artists work together. These pieces all fit together nicely. Look forward to a third feature... nice work, guys.

I'm diggin this, the beat has enough energy to make me move, the music is good and MASH's flow is great. And weird but true, I love the hook! I don't know Ade but he has a good voice! This song sounds perfect to my ears

I haven't come across a track like this in a while. It's one of those chill songs that I just can't get into. I dunno...but as DJ Z said, they have very nice flows, and production is nice (although it bores me personally, I can see the value of it). Add that to the fact that they all mesh really well, and you have a Banger. This song is really good, just not for me.

Production is so great (yeah, I feel that percussion too BDF!) I'm rating this before the chorus... ooops, there it is, and it's smooth! Overall melody is catchy and they flow properly on it, harmonizing and very well put together; bridge, the break after, it's perfect!
This is one of those songs I'm kinda lazy to check (cuz I have no idea who they are) and then I feel stupid for even questioning it... Props to XV! I thought he was talented only behind the mic! |
