Mike Dreams - We The Ones

Producer: Gmo

Label: MUSIC2DREAM2

One of the best things about hip-hop is its diversity. Some rappers are wildly entertaining by saying the craziest things they can think of (Lil B or 2 Chainz) and then some folks make uplifting records about life that end up being enjoyable while they get their message across. Enter Mike Dreams. To create buzz for his upcoming album, Millennial, Dreams drops off his first single (a The DJBooth world premiere!) from the project, We The Ones. Produced by Gmo and featuring scratches from DJ Advance, We The Ones is a string-heavy and steadily knocking track that the Minnesota native uses to discuss aspects of his upbringing, and the stories of struggles overcome by others. If you find yourself singing along to the chorus, it’s because you probably remember it; Dreams uses an interpolation of Kanye West’s Family Business, off 2004’s The College Dropout. Millennial is Dreams’ third full-length independent album and is slated for a late spring/early summer release. In the meantime, keep your eyes and ears glued to The DJBooth for even more real life rap from the Midwest stand out in the near future.

DJ Z's Top Rated Songs

The hook on "We The Ones" is uber-catchy, which is due in part to Kanye for the source and Dreams for the delivery. The verses are solid, but are not as powerful or as memorable as the chorus in terms of the delivery. They seem slightly rushed. Now, in all fairness, that is what artists wants people to remember from a song. But the message is there for the taking.

Max Pete DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1642	Rating: Max Pete's Top Rated Songs The song is catchy, and has a good message. However, this track didn't have a new sound to me, and I felt he could have put more emotion in it. I agree with Z, the verses seemed rushed.

DJ SonicFLOOD Tastemaker Total Ratings: 477	Rating: DJ SonicFLOOD's Top Rated Songs Catchy chorus. I dig the message behind it; Mike's got an ear for making catchy records with introspective lyricism behind it. Blending both together has got to be one of the hardest things to do, but Mike pulls it off almost effortlessly.
