Obie Trice - On & On
Artist: Obie Trice
Producer: MoSS (cuts by DJ Grouch)
Album: Special Reserve
Label: Black Market Ent.
In late November, Shady expatriate Obie Trice and producer MoSS caught lightning in a bottle with I Am, a chaotic street banger that earned rave reviews from most of our readers. If you’re worried that Trice can’t sustain that level of dopeness over the long-haul, don’t be – his major stint’s clearly left him with enough pent-up energy to go On & On (and on, and on…). This time around, MoSS skews a little darker on the production tip, layering Twilight Zone-esque piano arpeggios and tension-fraught string samples over a driving percussion rhythm. Obie amps up his aggression to match, packing his verses with so many tightly-wound, internally rhymed lyrical gems that it’s hard to pick one snippet to quote (so I won’t). And, as if that weren’t enough, DJ Grouch returns from I Am to contribute some spectacularly dope cuts on the chorus. Special Reserve drops next Tuesday, December 15, and fans should be sure to check back with us on December 22, when Obie Trice steps into the Booth for an exclusive interview with DJ Z.

Obie killed it. From the rhymes to the beat and(my favorite)dj scrathes and samples! Everything was dope.

Another hard track from Obie. This is looking to be a HOT release from the D-Town native. Keep it up.

yo yo this is ku. Obie got some very nice album tracks. however, Obie dont got 1 single. cmon now u gotta at least try and make a dent on the mainstream if u want ppl to buy ur album.
i know Obie can do this cuz i bought Cheers wen it came out and he has some mainstream stuff on their, but still stayed true to his music. btw, that album was sick. |

The drums get a little repetitive after a while but other than that the beat is ridiculous!!
No doubt Obie still has serious skills on the mic but can he bring some hot mainstream sh*t to put him back on the radio and mainstream map?? |

I'll be honest, I didn't know Obie could do it like this. He kind of sounds like Royce at times, and that's a hell of a compliment. Man's been killing it lately - whether or not he should have left Shady, it feels like he's getting more attention now than ever before.

Once again an all out lyrical assault with some solid production and scratching from Moss and DJ Grouch, respectively. I will check out his joint with Moss. Rotation fa sho!

I never replied until now. This is one of the hottest tracks from Obie, besides average man, and look in my eyes from cheers album, off his first CD. Production is money, flow over the beat is sweet. Reminds me of his mix tape shit. I hate to see him leave Shady because that's what got me hooked. Because he's the well known @*#$!. But this beat is ridiculous. It sucks you in from the beginning and his flow is steady throughout the track. Trust me, it's a definite listen and possible rotation.

I been an Obie Trice fan since the beginning so I definitely dig his swag on this track. I would give it 5 but I feel like I didn't get that "ooOO" that's missing from this track. Overall it's a smooth track
