N.O.R.E. ft. Macy Gray - Electrolytes

N.O.R.E - Electrolytes

Artist: N.O.R.E

Featuring: Macy Gray

Producer: Caviar

Album: S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G

Label: Unsigned

Ah, Electrolytes... they got me through many a difficult morning back in the day. As it turns out, that’s something (possibly the only thing) that I have in common with N.O.R.E., who pays tribute to the rehydrating/hangover-easing properties of ionic solutions on his latest album leak. Premiered yesterday on Funkmaster Flex‘s Hot 97 program, the record follows the Big Apple street mainstay as he works up a sweat on his paper chase—breaking only to pick up a Gatorade at the corner store. Over beatsmith Caviar‘s gritty boom-bap instrumental, featuring the ever-popular opening break from Bob James’ rendition of Take Me to the Mardi Gras, Noreaga delivers his trademark brand of street lyricism, going heavy on the inventive braggadocio (“My name hold weight like bobybuilders / You n*ggas ain’t killers, you’re caterpillars.”) and even offering his (slightly tardy) support for a certain Fugees member’s political aspirations: “You got my vote: ‘Clef for President.” Topped off with the inimitably sandpapery hook/bridge vocals of Macy Gray, this joint should be just the thing to get devotees amped for the arrival of S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G.. Keep it locked for details on the project, which as yet lacks a release date.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11676	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs "Electrolytes"? Really, N.O.R.E? I wonder if his people have a call in to Gatorade for potential licensing agreements in the future. And Macy? Where did you find her? The best part of this record is the beat - its stupid. I would be hard pressed to name an emcee who couldn't sound solid over this musical back drop... Follow @DJBooth
