Jeff Chery - For the Taken
Artist: Jeff Chery
Featuring: K. Sparks
Producer: Shinosis
Album: DJBooth.net Exclusive
Label: Team Rsinal Inc.
Getting Jeff “Pay$0z” Chery and K. Sparks together on a DJBooth.net-exclusive record is such a surefire recipe for reader acclaim that it’s almost unfair. Of course, we don’t care that much about being fair—thus, we’re proud to present another world premiere from our favorite Brooklyn buzzmakers. For the Taken finds Pay and Sparks flowing over a militaristic, synth-brass instrumental by Shinosis (coproducer of the memorable reversed breakbeat that backed Turn My Lights On). The between-verse banter that takes the place of a traditional hook gives the cut a more casual feel than either of the emcees’ previous collabos, but both come with rhymes as hard-hitting as readers would expect—Pay packs his verses with the same brand of dry, allusive wit he brought to No Competition, and Sparks switches things up with some more aggressively-flowed bars on the back end. This high-powered cut won’t be appearing on Pay’s Going Against the Grain LP, but readers can look forward to one more world premiere in anticipation of the Booth-cosponsored project’s release!
This song first appeared on the

If you come to the Booth regularly, its no surprise to see either of these emcee's on our homepage. Why, might you ask? Well, they mean business, they are serious about their craft, and they churn out consistently good material. It's not quantity over quality with these two.
On the production tip, Shinosis does he thing as usual. His plane is ready to take off. On the lyrical tip, was there any question? Banger.

You see thats why I was being hard on the kid on his last misstep/joint ...
In terms of production this a Standout track for today's batch of songs on booth and then both Pay$0z and K.Sparks gets into the groove by adding a little swing of their own with their flows making this a BANGER!!! |

Yeah..
To know that you know (know).. and to know that you don't know (don't know) that's real wisdom. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I see a wide open lane.. gotta school these dudes Through the backpacker.. yeah.. Man, that intro is too epic! The whole song is insane! Pay$0z and K. Sparks do it again. |

This track has me speechless, and I can't really say more. I can feel the flow dripping out of every beat count and every word.
