Outasight - Destination Somewhere
Artist: Outasight
Producer: Cook Classics
Album: Amp Energy Drink Online Ad Campaign
Label: Asylum/Warner Bros.
With Outasight‘s tendency to spit chilled-out rhymes over jazzy beats, not to mention his noirish, rumpled-suit aesthetic, I’d had him pegged as a fellow black coffee drinker, so it came as a little bit of a surprise that his latest Booth feature, Destination Somewhere, found him lending his musical talents to an Amp Energy online ad campaign. The NYC native may not be an obvious choice for the job, but, rather than switching up his style for the adrenaline-junkie demographic, he revels in being out-of-place—in fact, that’s what the record’s about. Harnessing his mellow, melodic flow to the topic of alienation, Outasight delivers up that distinctive, too-cool-to-be-cool brand of swag his fans know and love. Most of the amped-up feel comes courtesy of Cook Classics’ midtempo beat, which backs a dark electric guitar groove with propulsive, clattering cymbals. In the end, I’m not sure if Destination Somewhere will get the emcee’s devotees hooked on Amp, but it’ll doubtless convert plenty of overcaffeinated music-lovers into Outasight fans. If you fall into either of these categories, watch for his sophomore LP, From Here To Eternity, to drop sometime this year.

Nothing I can say that Richard didn't pen (so eloquently, might I add) already.

Pretty damn hot for an energy drink commercial! Outasight is a Booth regular, so I got mad love for his style. Not my favorite track, but crazy catchy and very enjoyable to say the least.

This is OK. I don't really know how I feel about him yet because this is the first song that I've heard from him but I found this track enjoyable. It had a good feel.

I'm really intrigued by the "symbolism" that Outasight uses that richard was writin about. I love how his outta place flow represents the fact that he's lost but knows he's headed somewhere. At first his melodic flow sounds really "out of place", to use lyrics from the track, but I got used to it after a few bars and I was diggin it. Nice production to spit over too.

Hes is definitely out there somewhere with this style. But he oddly fits in with this cool beat. 2.5 Its quite in rotation for me but im rounding up for this one.

Not my type of song. I don't think he fits so much the music! I'm not a fan of too fast songs! OK

Not something I'd bump a lot, but first time around it sounds GREAT. A really nice break from so many similar songs I've been hearing. Really enjoyed his flow and sound over this beat.
