Muggsy Malone - Before I Lay in a Box
Artist: Muggsy Malone
Producer: Grussle
Album: The Consistency
Label: Unsigned
If you were to keel over and die right now… well, it’d be a damn shame, because you’d just miss listening to a dope song by Muggsy Malone. But the point is: would you be satisfied with the life you’d lived? On mixtape leak Before I Lie in a Box (a Booth-exclusive world premiere), The Parkway Kid asks himself that very question, pondering the many unfinished entries on his bucket list—chief among them getting his family out of the ‘hood and into a posh lakeside estate. Needless to say, the DMV repper doesn’t take the cut’s sentimental theme as license to slouch on the mic. Over Grussle‘s head-noddable sample work, Malone makes every syllable count, delivering bars characteristically complex, relentlessly-flowed, and jam-packed with vivid, intricately-rhymed turns of phrase: “Please Lord, don’t make me detour / Keep my eyes lifted—I wish to peep more highs and lows than a see-saw. ” If this lyrically on-point jam leaves you craving more, keep it locked; neither The Consistency nor Malone’s Booth-sponsored Dedication, Determination & Discipline LP have received a drop date, but we’ll keep you supplied with the latest news and tunes.

Deep subject matter, excellent/moving delivery, and all-around great execution. Kudos to Grussle, whose work always knows how to compliment and never outshine.

I'm not really feeling Muggsy malone's flow on this track. The beat is pretty average. Chorus is catchy. I'll give it a few spins.

Muggsy Malone just makes that type of hip-hop that I live & breathe for, great production, well though lyrics and a killer flow. I dunno, the music he makes I just can never stop playing. Much respect.
