MarkmyWords - Wage War
Artist: MarkmyWords
Producer: Y-Test
Album: Fall From Grace
Label: Disturbia Music Group
On December 26, 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed the US Congress with an inspiring speech that contained the immortal (if Yoda-esque) line, “Sure I am that this day, now, we are the masters of our fate… that the task which has been set us is not above our strength..” He was actually talking about the Allied offensive against Hitler in Libya but, hey, I guess that applies equally well to Booth newcomer MarkmyWords, who rallies the troops to Wage War against the forces of wackness on this fresh new single. Supported by the syncopated guitar riffs and rolling breakbeats of Y-Test, the Cali native unloads his highest-caliber lyrical artillery at the sucker emcees, blasting them for their ignorance and their lack of passion for the art: “Your vision appears weak if you can’t see the picture / you call yourself a writer but you don’t read the literature.” A “skilled assassin” whom underground heads will undoubtedly be proud to have on their side, Mark is set to showcase even more high-quality new material on his Fall From Grace LP, due out May 19, via Block McCloud‘s Disturbia Music Group.

I kinda like the beat. My head was bouncing a little. But for some reason I can't get into his flow. It's kinda boring to me. If only this beat had been given to J. Cole...

This song has been out for a good minute now. I have had it in my Itunes since at least December. I think it's a good track and has had good replay value in my system.
I am looking forward to the album, didn't know it was dropping on Disturbia. |

The sample was really cool, because, usually samples don't come from historical speeches. However, It's not a good sign when the sample is the best part of the track. The rest of the song was ok, but nothing really stood out. It's kind of forgettable.

Raekwon's version (latest album) with the part of the speech is by far more worthy. However, good idea.

The serious speech sample was a little over the top, but it certainly set the tone for the record. Marks flows didn't live up to the production level - which I thought was pretty solid - but it serves as a nice introduction to our readers.

Thank you for all of the support! MarkMyWords is a very talented artist to work with and I can't take all the credit for the beat. Words has a very clear vision of what he wants and I just pushed the buttons! The other records I heard of Homeland Security are certified Fresh!

I'm not a particular fan of this beat or delivery everything feels rushed, the voice sample in the beginning leads one to believe there was much more to be heard and it just wasn't the case. Maybe next time.
