Phil Nash - Hip Hop Ish
Artist: Phil Nash
Producer: Jazzy Jeff
Album: Mick Boogie & Dub Floyd present: Phil of the Future Part 2
Label: Goggy Records
When a record’s title perfectly summarizes its contents, it makes it kind of impossible to come up with a clever track review intro. Case in point: Phil Nash‘s Hip Hop Ish, a newly-leaked mixtape cut that delivers exactly what it says on the tin: grade-A, unfiltered, lyrically-driven hip-hop from the Motown motormouth who earned reader acclaim for the hyperkinetic Going Up. Veteran DJ Jazzy Jeff‘s old-school boardwork sets a mellow mood, and, fittingly, the emcee comes with slightly less intensity than on his previous feature. Nash’s “laid-back” flow, however, is still worlds faster and more agile than most emcees at their most frantic, and each verse comes so densely-packed with imagery and wordplay that it would take me about an hour to pick one standout line to quote. If you’re thinking that Phil would be a prime candidate for our exclusive freestyle series, we’ve got you covered—he’s already spit entry #78, which will hit our front page next Tuesday. Fans can find this track, Phil’s Booth-exclusive freestyle, and more on Mick Boogie & Dub Floyd present: Phil of the Future Part 2, out August 11th.

Yeah, I'm just gonna be pretty straightforward on this comment. This track is sick! I love Phil's flow style (plus he has some sick lyrics) and the production fit with Phil nicely.

Production fit nicely, yes. But it wasn't my favorite production. Other than that, it was a nice track. All in all, 3 stars. First time to hear Nash, and it wasn't bad. It wasn't overlly impressive, either.

Track isnt bad. I think they could have used a better beat with his voice. Song isnt bad though.

@ bowwserr - Check out "Goin Up" which was a feature on the Booth from Nash a while back. That song is legit.
