Jeff Chery - Magic
Artist: Jeff Chery
Producer: Lee Major and Joel Montana [for 3:47 Music]
Album: DJBooth.net Exclusive
Label: Team Rsinal Inc.
With the relentless grind up-and-comers must undertake to lay the groundwork for musical success, a little burnout is virtually inevitable—even Booth favorite Pay$0z has days when he starts to think “...the Magic‘s gone.” Recorded earlier this week and making its exclusive world premiere right here at DJBooth.net, this track is something of a paradox; for a downbeat record about losing one’s inspiration, it’s surprisingly, uh, inspired. Lee Major and Joel Montana‘s bluesy boardwork sets the stage for rhymes that, despite the convincingly downtrodden delivery, are as vivid and clever as anything we’ve heard from Pay, and the hook, which blends a vintage soul sample with guest singer Shyrron Anthony‘s equally impassioned backing vocals, is both crushing and explosively uplifting. If the rapper is truly as bummed as this record suggests (feel better!), I can only conclude that Pay on a bad day is worlds better than most artists on a good day—it’s certainly among his best features to date. This powerful cut is sure to leave fans even hungrier for the emcee’s Booth-co-sponsored Against the Grain LP, set to hit our front page later this summer.

Man, I can relate. I love my J.O.B, but there are plenty of days when I am feel like the magic is just lost. Excellent harmony, great delivery, on point!

Excellent record. The dark depressing production mixed with the story line captures the listener in. That chorus was flame too! Anyone getting a sense of Kanye's 'Spaceship' with this record, lyrically and production-wise?

Every time i hear Paysoz he never disappoints!!
Production is very slow paced but Paysoz flows perfect on it!! Never heard of Shyrron Anthony but he has a pretty good voice!! |

There are plenty of rappers in hip-hop today who are trying to be introspective or profound but not all of it makes for an entertaining listening experience such like this rite here... BANGER!!!

Well... what do you expect this is Pay$0z with another brilliant track at first glance, mabye second listen may justify why it is a banger but you can't hate this at all.
