M.i - Time
Artist: M.i
Producer: Michael "M.i." Maldonaldo
Album: The Jack Johnson Sessions
Label: Unsigned
So much to listen to, so little Time... Fortunately, you’ve got DJBooth.net to help you decide what music is worth your while. With that said, those who choose to give M.i‘s first feature a listen are guaranteed to find those few minutes well-spent. Here, the Austin native give his soon-to-be fans a taste of his musical versatility, cooking up a summery, guitar-driven instrumental backdrop (complete with maracas) for his own laid-back musings on life, love, and his ongoing efforts to find that elusive “diamond in the rough” called “peace of mind.” As if his skills as an emcee and producer weren’t enough, he ties the whole package together with a mellow hook that’ll have listeners humming along long after the record is over. If you’re digging the easygoing style M.i showcases here, you can find plenty more on his latest street album, The Jack Johnson Sessions, released in March and available for free download right here.

This is a record that several members of my music staff raved about before I ever got the chance to press play. Usually, and this doesn't happen often, this means we've got something very dope on our hands... which is the case here with M.i.
I am not going to go into detail about why this record is good, just listen to and enjoy it. Then go tell a friend where you found it.

I really dig the entire song. Production is great, and catcy but not to flasy like some. and the chorus, it fits perfectly with the song and is sung quite well. I'm definately looking forward to some more from this guy.

It is definitely M.i. time! DJ Booth glad to see you posted this. Enjoyed every part of the song. It's hot and catchy. The production is well done. Got to keep M.i. as one to look out for in the future.

The production was a highlight here, his singing and verses are good, but he should've mixed it better at times i can't hear what he's sayin.

Had a good time listening to this, plain and simple. Music can be many things, but it's not easy to make a track that makes you feel good like this, big props to M.I. Let's hear some more from the man.

Huge fan of Jack Johnson. It was only a matter of time before Jack's tunes were flipped like Coldplay's. Much respect to M.i lacing the already smooth track with some bounce to it, not to mention some clean verses. Banger.

Nice found DJBooth Crew minus @Z :p
It's one of the most aurally pleasing/consoling production I've heard in a while with pensive lyrics — a real earworm. |

This is that feel good music for sure. Suddenly all your problems fade away. This guy keeps it real and to a degree really deserves a chance in the spotlight.
The production on this really sets the tone for the entire track. Hard to point out as to where this track fails, however it is no where near a classic in my book. M.i.'s lyrical talent is there, so all I can say is that I'm looking forward to hearing more from him. |

This just makes you happy listening to this...the prodution is really refreshing with the piano playing.
He brings his skill to the production and mic...and the hook is just a breathe of fresh air. It isn't gunna get you jumping out of you seat but its a good overall track thats easy listening. |

I secretly love Jack Johnson, and i never even thought about a mash up. Genius! So is the whole album different Jack Johnson instrumentals? Keep them coming please, it's just a chance to reminisce on my past relationships(when i made Jack and Ben cd's for my girl) but in a fresh new way.

"If I Had Eyes" is a great song and this does it justice. Even if you don't like Jack Johnson you've gotta like this.

Wow!!!
I knew from the first chords I was gonna like this! So FRESH!!! I doubt any of my fellow djbooth members know who "Bob Schneider" is, but this has a vibe like that. It means good, chill music, with a natural ability to tune your mood into "happy mode". Another rapper producing his own material?! No complaints from me! =) I like his natural flow and bs-less lyrics. |

I feel like it need to be sunny and not a cloud to be found in the sky for me to put this on rotation, if were raining or any kind of imperfection were to occur thru out the day, i'd be assed out.
