Nino Bless - God'll Cut you Down
Artist: Nino Bless
Producer: Engineer
Album: A B*tch Named Karma
Label: Unsigned
Though classic country and modern hip-hop are two genres not typically found on the same iPod, it should come as no surprise that Nino Bless considers Johnny Cash an all-time fave, and a major inspiration for his own work; as our own DJ Z put it last May, when Marky stepped into the Booth with his own Cash-sampled cut, the man was “a real OG.” On inaugural mixtape leak God’ll Cut You Down, Bless channels the Man in Black as he takes aim at the snake-oil salesman who profit off a vulnerable public. Engineer mans the boards, flipping a sample from the similarly-titled God’s Gonna Cut You Down as the Brooklyn rapper skewers everyone from dime-a-dozen pimps and drug-dealers to white-collar crooks and even Vatican officials. Of course, Nino will be the first to admit he’s committed his own share of sins; on the back, he asks the Lord’s forgiveness for “the women I’ve corrupted… all the stuff that I’ve lusted over with no reluctance, all the folks that I’ve let down and failed them when they trusted.” Like what you’re hearing? More dark, introspective jams await on Bless’ A B*tch Named Karma mixtape, due out in March.

Respectfully done, deep, engaging, and impactful song. Cash Stans should be happy, too. Welcome back to the Booth, Nino.

First time hearing Nino. When he put more energy in his voice he kind of sounds like eminem.

Props to Bless for going outside the box on this sample, but I have to agree with bighmc - this isn't uncharted territory.
Still, what really matters is how well the concept is executed, and Bless delivers something that's instantly engaging and recognizable. Props.

This is straight dope. Dope as fu*k. Im loving every second of this record from Nino. The whole Johnny Cash part in this really makes this a killer. This is one of my favorite song on the djbooth. The production is awesome from Engineer.
