Pill - Music
Artist: Pill
Producer: Mick Vegas [for The Aspen Agency]
Album: 4075: The Refill
Label: Unsigned
There’s no better way for a Booth newcomer to endear himself to our regulars than by paying tribute to the legends, and underground up-and-comer Pill has a longer list of influences than most. On this newly-released mixtape cut, the Atlanta rapper delivers a personal history-via-Music, name-dropping the many rap, soul, and R&B icons whose work inspired him over the course of his life. Aspen Agency beatsmith Mick Vegas backs the emcee’s heartfelt rhymes with some fittingly nostalgic sample work, serving up a lush piano-brass instrumental with a Chipmunk-style vocal hook. If you’re an old soul, Music is virtually guaranteed to strike a chord, but that doesn’t mean the rest should pass this one by—Pill’s new-school flow and Vegas’ ear-pleasing accompaniment make it an easy record for anyone to swallow (terrible pun intended). Those jonesing for more of this up-and-comer’s underground sounds can get what they’re craving this summer, when his latest mixtape, 4075: The Refill, hits the ‘net.

Yes, today is "old school samples with changed pitches" day. Welcome to the Booth, Pill. Just like Game, its not to hear new school artists pay homage to the greats.

It's always nice to hear an artist speak from the heart to explain why he is who he is, and to pay homage to those who helped mold them. Neva heard of him before, but the way he told the story gave us a nice look into his story. The production and sample were a solid background for that.

I like the idea of him paying tribute to all the artists that helped make him. The lyrics are pretty good and the sample helped out.

What is with these "chipmunk" style hooks? Lol. I'm enjoying them though, it's cool. Definitely feeling the message on here. Great line-up on the Booth tonight. This underground stuff is my favorite kind of rap. I'm handin out 4's all over.

@BDF44 I felt the same way... I think the chipmunk style took the beauty out of the sample, which would have added even more substance to the track.

Im lovin the production on this by Mick Vegas who laces a slick, organic production paced by a beautiful Chipmunk-style vocal sample that intensifies the mood even more ... & Pill holds his own on the mic ... 3.5
