I guess DJBooth newcomers Malcolm & Martin wanted to give listeners a taste of what their dinner tables sound like during Thanksgiving. Their new single Thank God, much like their name, pays homage to those who have paved the way for them to achieve success not only in music, but in life. On the boards is DJ Revolution, who might have cooked up this track on an ancient oven because it sounds like an old school heater. And if you find yourself indulging in this joint, don’t worry; it’s definitely a balanced meal as both emcees drop flows so crisp you would think they were put in the broiler. The main force behind this inspirational song, however, is the chorus, as Malcolm & Martin give thanks to some extraordinarily influential African Americans with great feeling and precision. If you’re thankful that you got to hear Thank God then make sure to check out Malcolm & Martin’s debut album Life Doesn’t Frighten Me, slated to drop very soon.

man that was just push on us like that...have you ever heard of a intro...word play is pretty nice...this is def ol' skool, the booth gone go crazy tonight i bet...this is positive...but nothing big or great...i like how they change the hook every time because that thank God is to repeative, but the word play is hard...so yeah...small rotation

I dig the message and the back and forth flow; could have done without the redundant/repetitive hook and beat is barely in rotation

Creative concept. It was smart to change the hook up and add something new to keep the song upbeat. I loved how they thank black people who really dieserve props. From Langston Hughes to Rosa Parks, were good names and the Ice T was funny. I doubt I'll listen to this again but for the fact that it was creative and fun, I'll give it 4 stars.

As Quentin points out, the execution on the chorus is spectacular. Revolution's production work is equally impressive creating that throwback feel throughout the listen. I would expect nothing less from one of the most respected & talented Djs in the world.

Loved the direction they tried to go in, not on its execution, I think the production still sounds in the development stage.

Beat is pleasant and both flows over it like water rushing over a riverbed. And they successfully managed to keep the hook interesting enough that you can listen and not be bored... 3.5
