Peter Jackson - Head Up
Artist: Peter Jackson
Featuring: Joell Ortiz
Producer: Young K
Album: In My Life
Label: Unsigned
Peter Jackson is a busy, busy man – though the bearded New Zealander who brought us the Lord of the Rings trilogy is currently hard at work on several forthcoming films, he’s found time to… oh, this isn’t the same guy? And I used the same joke last year, when the Oshawa rapper of the same name made his Booth debut? Sh*t, my bad. Anyway, new single Head Up finds producer Young K serving up a sweeping string-sampled beat as the up-and-comer encourages us to stay on our grind when the going gets tough. As on Paper Boy, Jackson delegates guest services to a Slaughterhouse member; this time around, he calls on Joell Ortiz, who laces the middle verse with plenty of hard-won wisdom: “Good things come to those who tryin’ their best / great things come to those who won’t settle for less.” Topped off with a smooth chorus by Brooklyn singer ShowTyme, this joint should be just the thing to pep up those in need of a little motivation. For more fresh tunes from Peter Jackson, grab a copy of his In My Life LP, available now in stores and online.

 Further proof that Drake isn't the only talented individual making music from North of our border. Peter isn't new to the Booth, but this is by far the best submission his team has sent our way. The production has an epic feel and his bars, along with those of Mr. Ortiz, fit it very well.

I love that the Booth reps Canadian products...big ups from North of the border. This song has a nice, smooth beat and the artists' flow is tight.
To answer one of the questions, he's from Ontario (Peterborough I think). 4.5 but rounding up because he's Canadian. :) |

Well it says in the description he's from Oshawa, I don't mess around with other local rappers other then ones from Brampton, Sauga and Toronto, so i don't really know that much about the dude.
Amazing track, I actually feel blessed Joell featured on a local Canadian MC's track. too dope. |
