Pill - Why It Gotta Be Like Dis (Mama)

Artist: Pill

Producer: Matt (of Illfonics)

Album: The Epidemic EP

Label: Unsigned

When Soul Food came out back in 1997, everybody connected with the character of “Big Mama” and felt her persona in their own loved ones. In 2011, Pill pays homage to his own “mama” and feeds us some musical soul food with Why It Gotta Be Like Dis? (Mama), from his upcoming project, The Epidemic EP. The Maybach Music/Warner Bros signee brings a different energy on a song that plays on whimsical notes that remind you of PM Dawn’s Set Adrift on Memory Bliss, which is perfect for Pill, who reminisces on the times he shared with his favorite woman in the whole wide world: his mother. Matt (of Illfonics) paints the perfect picture for Pill to narrate with production encompassed of a steady drums, cymbals and tinkling sonics that invite anyone to leave the trap and take a trip down Memory Lane. With openly honest lyrics Pill will surely be able to draw sentiment from any rough and tumble listener; hey, where would any of us be without our mothers? Stick with The DJBooth as we keep you posted on Pill’s The Epidemic EP, coming soon.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11856	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Artists who can open up about their own personal grief and use their artform as a cathartic relief really impress me on a personal level. I mean, think about it - you are sharing your emotions on the most personal of levels with the whole world. Kudos to Pill, this is some of his very best work to date. Follow @DJBooth

Lucas G. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 715	Rating: Lucas G.'s Top Rated Songs I always enjoy when rappers let the audience see a different side of them. It makes them much easier to identify with. I don't think it will blow anyone away, but this track is interesting and worth a listen nonetheless.
