Mitchy Slick - Spread My Wings
Artist: Mitchy Slick
Featuring: Talib Kweli
Producer: Tha Bizness
Album: The Year of the Blacksmith Community Mixtape
Label: Blacksmith Music
Like Voltron, relentlessly dope L.A. rap crew Strong Arm Steady is a powerful force when joined together, but individually SAS’s individual components can also inflict damage. Case in point, Mitchy Slick, a high-caliber rhymer who’s making his solo debut on the Booth today with new motivational leak Spread My Wings. We’ll get to the mic work in a moment, but I’ve got a feeling a lot of responders with bring up the production, which finds Tha Bizness giving Spread a distinctly mid-90s, from the opening vocals to the light synth lines. Does it work? I’m frankly not sure, especially when Mitchy lays down such deeply street and lyrically honest lyrics. Those sentiments are echoed by Blacksmith boss Talib Kweli on a solid-as-concrete guest verse (ah, those Whole Food gangsters), but I still just can’t make up my mind on this one, so I’m gonna need the Booth to guide me. Have at it people. Following 1st Time, Wings is the second offering from The Year of the Blacksmith Community Mixtape, coming soon.

Nathan, I'll help you make up your mind. Since we are not used to hearing Mitchy, Talib, or any members of SAS rap over production like this, at first it might seem out of place. However, after a few listens, I believe it works. I think the work Tha Bizness do on the boards is such a dramatic change of pace for a street-based record that it makes both components more impactful. Thats just me...

This is really different. And at first i really wasnt sure about this song. But now that i have heard it a few times, im really feeling this. The mix of Mitchy Slick, Talib Kweli, and Tha Bizness is "WOW!". Thats such a great mix. The production is great from Tha Bizness. The verses are smooth and makes it all a very nice listen. Its in rotation for me, but a deff banger!

This is the first and only song I have heard from Mitchy Slick. I like what i hear though. As for Talib, can't go wrong with him on a track.
The production is really different. But, different is good (In this case). 4/5 |

I didn't like Mitchy's flow here at all, I think it downgraded the track.
