Neak ft. Simeon Viltz (of Primeridian) - You Gave Me Life

Neak - You Gave Me Life

Artist: Neak

Producer: Pete Rock

Album: Neak Rock

Label: Unsigned

On his last mixtape leak, the Chi-town phenom who brought us exclusive freestyle Heartbreaks posed a rhetorical question: “What you know about Neak?” While that joint told us plenty about the emcee’s approach to rocking the mic, a more intimate glimpse into the artist’s psyche can be found on his newest offering, You Gave Me Life. Premiered earlier today on Prefix, this cut finds Neak airing out his feelings toward his absent father, over a pensive, jazz-sampled beat by Pete Rock (whose instrumentals back the entire project). On the middle verse, Primeridian emcee Simeon Vitz steps into the spotlight to describe how hip-hop helped him overcome the pain of his own father’s absence: “I’m leanin’ on a purpose, not welfare or church sh*t – every rap wrote is a light year from worthless.” Want to hear Neak share his deep thoughts over more vintage Pete Rock instrumentals? Of course you do – so you’ll most definitely want to check back with us on the 26th, when his Prefix, RefinedHype, FakeShoreDrive, YNotMyDream and DJBooth-sponsored Neak Rocks street album arrives on our mixtape page for streaming and free download.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11876	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I have a good feeling that this new Neak project that we are behind will open up a lot of ears to the amazingness that is Pete Rock's production work. Most artists would s**t the bed trying to rap over instrumentals from the icon, but Neak does so with class - he doesn't try too hard, either. Good work. Follow @DJBooth
