You know that growing sense of excitement you get when you flip on a record by an artist you’ve never heard before, and you think “Hey, this is pretty good… in fact, it’s really good.”? Well, I have an inkling that quite a few readers will have That Feeling while listening to this new joint, the first Booth feature from Miami, Florida up-and-comer Parable. Here, an infectiously upbeat soul instrument by Sharpsound (sampled from family soul group The Sylvers’ That’s What Love Is Made Of) sets the mood for a lyrical trip down Memory Lane. In breathlessly-flowed bars, the emcee describes the genesis of his own love affair with hip-hop, recounting his growth from a youngster scribbling rhymes in his bedroom to the lyrical equivalent of a Jedi Master. Every Parable comes with a message – so, what moral should we take away from this story? Um… don’t sleep on a good emcee? Sure, that works. And be sure to download a copy of the artist’s deliciously-named Mashed Potatoes mixtape, a collaboration with local trio Llamabeats, when it drops in October.

Nice introduction to Parable. Its hard to find anything to hate on when the emcee comes across as sincere, especially with ample production support here from Sharpsound (nice alias).

Pretty decent track, but the hook and the verse production differ tremendously, so its hard gettin a good handle on this track. Because his verses are so intense and then comes this old school female sample out of no where.

You would give yourself a %. haah. I think there is always room for grwth. I truly love this track and like how you were able to simplify some deep lyrics. It balances it out
