Panama - Make it Last
Artist: Panama
Producer: Blackjab
Album: Ring Side Seats: The Weigh In
Label: YE Records
If you’re an avid viewer of The Wire, you probably know Panama as “‘that guy who kept beating up Bubbles.” Though it’s the Brooklyn-born, Baltimore-based emcee’s work on the silver screen that’s earned him the most recognition thus far, his contributions to the world of hip-hop will likely become his true claim to fame. On this leaked mixtape track, Panama’s first Booth feature, the up-and-comer demonstrates just how dedicated he is to the rap game, promising his doubters that he and his crew are going to, “Make It Last till we old as f*ck..” Producer Blackjab adds weight to the artist’s impassioned, direct yet poetic rhymes, serving up a sweeping, string-driven Chipmunk-soul beat sampled from the O’Jays’ classic cut You and Me. Like what you’re hearing? You’re in luck – Panama’s latest street album, Ring Side Seats: The Weigh In , dropped this past June and is available now online. Fans can also check out the official video for this track, which debuted back in September at BET.com.

These sped-up Motown samples get me every time, haha. I'd like to hear Panama spit on a variety of production work to hear if his flow, cadence, and energy-level fluxate. But, with this the only sample we have, I dig it.

I like the song, sample was filling, making the production good, Lyrics were ok, just ok, they flow allowed me to follow his story, still lacking overall zing....keep grinding tho

Damn Richard, I consider myself a pretty avid Wire fan, but even I couldn't have remembered the name of the dude who kept beating up Bubbles. Since both this artist and the fictional character are from B-More, what are the chances their names are related?
Anyway, solid introduction to Panama, though I agree with Z, I need to hear more from Panama before I can come to any conclusions.

An adequate effort on mic by Panama that gets elevated to Rotation-Stuff due to smooth production. I guess, just like @Z I'm a sucker too for sped-up soulful productions.
