N.O.R.E. ft. Raekwon & Tony Sunshine - Face Off

N.O.R.E - Face Off

Artist: N.O.R.E

Producer: Tuneheads

Album: S.O.R.E. Mixtape

Label: Unsigned

Now that he’s free of any traditional “label deal,” N.O.R.E. is taking his aggressive lyrical style to the next level, and he’s so confident in his new approach that, on this newly-leaked cut, he promises that the Tuneheads’ rates will go up another $20K thanks to his brutal rhymes. Flowing over the ‘heads’ classic hardcore beat, he makes clear that, in the mean streets of NYC, one wrong move can lead to someone tearing your Face Off! Raekwon‘s verse might seem somewhat underwhelming by the Wu-Tang emcee’s own standards, but Tony Sunshine‘s hook and backing vocals invest the track with plenty of dirge-style appeal. If you’re craving more pure, raw, uncut N.O.R.E., be on the lookout for his upcoming S.O.R.E. mixtape (which currently has no set release date).

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11882	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs (Sadly) I am not really sure what direction N.O.R.E's career is headed-in, but if he comes with the on-the-mic arsenal which is on almost-full display here, I will be a lot more confident. Rae sounds like he mailed in his verse, but Tony Sunshine reminds me why he's always been the hook singer to never blow up (but should have). Follow @DJBooth

GStan10 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1327	Rating: GStan10's Top Rated Songs I felt like the beat suited N.O.R.E. very well. He laid down some very solid verses. Rae didn't have very much energy at all on here, but overall, it was solid. I've never even heard of Tony Sunshine, but he sounded fresh. I always love to hear a new hook singer, because most of the in-demand ones are way over-played.

Juanito_88 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1077	Rating: Juanito_88's Top Rated Songs NORE came wit some heat here, his intensity and flow were on point. The hook was corny and i agree wit Z and Burmy about the Chef's verse, but it was still very solid by nearly anyone else's standards. This is a pretty cool track.

Mr.Top Hat Tastemaker Total Ratings: 4267	Rating: Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs DAMN! did NORE out spit Raekwon on this? Rae had better verses but still its way better than most .... NORE need to stay at this level. The beat is dirty but kinda repititive/lackluster and the hook is just decent ... 2.5
