Money Making Jam Boys - Tear It Down
Artist: Money Making Jam Boys
Producer: Khari Mateen
Album: Untitled Debut Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
If you turn on your radio to your local hip-hop station, more likely than not you’ll hear something more like bubble gum pouring through your speakers. Now there’s nothing wrong with the occasional catchy tune, but wouldn’t it be great if radio actually displayed some diversity and played music like the Money Making Jam Boys’ Tear It Down? MMJB, comprised of Roots frontman Black Thought, along with Dice Raw, P.O.R.N., STS and Truck North, are making their collective debut with Tear It Down, an instantly engaging cut produced by Khari Mateen, who supplies no shortage of high-hat heavy percussion and head-nodding horns. And with that many top flight emcees on deck, I don’t think I even have to vouch for the quality of the lyrical side of the equation. So with those facts in place, all we’re really left with are a couple questions. Who delivered the best mic performance? What will the title of the Money Making Jam Boys mixtape be, and when will it drop? The first question’s up to you, the second will be answered by DJBooth asap. Keep it locked.

Having seen this rap collective live in concert last year, I can tell you first hand they mean business. Matter of factly, they did as their new song suggests - they tore it down. You can tell they had fun recording this and, consequently, I had fun listening.

Good track. It has a simple but yet affective hook, and some solid production to back up the emcees of which all of them do well.

Um....how do I say f**ks yes without getting censored. Nevermind. The point is, hip-hop doesn't have to be complicated. Just get talented emcees on quality production and let em go to work. And as cliched as it may sound, I've got to hand it to Black Thought on this one.
By the way, that's got to be The Roots playing on the beat, right? I have a hard time believing anyone else laid down live drums, bass, guitar and a tuba line.

Wow... i was speechless when i pressed play..... The begining really caught me in for more. Then they went in and the opening verse was striaght fire. I really loved every verse in this, and the chorus was really catchy. This is the most enjoyable feature of the day.

What a group of artists. Any song they make is going to be good. STS killed it and Black Thought was second best.
