Phresh James - For a Long Time
Artist: Phresh James
Producer: REM
Album: Universal Lve Period
Label: Unsigned
Released via our mixtape page last week, Phresh James’ latest street album has lived up to its title, garnering Universal L[o]ve from the Booth readership. If all those four and five-star reviews weren’t enough to persuade you to cop the project, then I’m not sure what to tell you—other than to strongly urge you to take a listen to newly-released standout cut/single For a Long Time. This smoothed-out ensemble cut finds the Panhandle State buzzmaker coming together with not one, not two, but five of his most talented homies to rhyme about the struggles and triumphs of the grind (among myriad other topics) over a headnodically chill chopped-sample arrangement by REM. James heads off the pack, daydreaming about what his future may hold (“...hopefully bigger shows, payin’ gigs to feed my kids / And rhymes that’ll cross your minds like ’ That’s that sh*t.”) in an engaging opener. Following him on the mic are Booth regulars J NICS and Personal, as well as Raise Ya Glass guest contributor Sean Buck and first-time featurees Golden, and Lil Champ. Who delivered the standout verse? Debate away—and don’t forget to grab your free copy of Phresh James’ highly-acclaimed new mixtape, Universal Lve Period.

"Universal Lve Period" as a project showcases the talents of James, but this cut goes further by exposing the talent that South Florida has to brag about. Outside of James, the emcee who was most impactful over REM's production is NICS.

Miami's Finest all on the same track? & what's better is they all from the same camp.. and all got different sounds if you keep up with each artists solo career... NiCS Bodied this... But I got to go with Lil Champ on this one.. most entertaining verse.. they all brought it.

This beat by REM is Bumpin and smooth all at the same time. I can't tell all the artists apart from one another right now, but this is pretty tight. I liked every minute.
