Protoman - Movie Star
Artist: Protoman
Producer: Sebino
Album: Proto & Sebino 86'd EP
Label: Footwork4self Records
I know what you’re thinking: “Protoman – isn’t that Mega Man’s rival, programmed to exact vengeance by the dastardly Dr, Wily?” Oh, I was the only one thinking that, and I just outed myself as a nerd? Damn. Anyway, it’s somewhat appropriate that the up-and-comer took the name of a fictional villain; as evidenced by Movie Star, the latest off his and producer Sebino‘s forthcoming street album, he takes inspiration from some downright evil sh*t. Here, the Floridian emcee gives a first-person account of a real (as evidenced by the news clips at the track’s beginning and end) date rape, detailing the effects of Rohypnol slipped into the drink of an unsuspecting female clubgoer. The artist’s eye for dark lyrical detail, along with Sebino’s sinister, synth-driven production make this track a very creepy, yet compelling listen. Those who like what they’re hearing can find Movie Star and much more on the emcee-producer duo’s forthcoming 86’ed EP, scheduled to hit the ‘net on April 6.

Super heavy content, but I was more than impressed with the final result. This was deep, but delivered well (with the help of gripping audio from newscasts). I want to hear more from this emcee/producer duo!

Not exactly a track I'll be playing at the next family reunion, but I always appreciate originality, and there's no way you've heard something like this before. May be a little too much for me this late at night, but I still respect the vision. Let's get some more from the man and see what else he's got to offer.

Wasn't expecting this kinda beat. Track scores points for originality, that's for sure, but it ultimately comes off a little awkward from a musical standpoint... 2.5

ive known proto for a very long time. this is definitely his style and i feel sebino is the right type of producer to bring out the best of proto's skills.

strong track, haven't heard pure artistry like this in a minute. the vibe gives the essence of a first person narration...which comes as creepy and artistic as it was probably intended. keep an eye out for 86'd on April 6th!!!

Totally original. Been a lurker for a while but decided to sign up when Pro spread the word. Props on the booth for going a different direction.

I've known Proto for what seems almost too long & have had the pleasure of recording with him for years. You have no idea how much hard work went into this track, as I was witness. 86'd is going to be major yall. Trust me when i say this. I bump this track at least once a day

I'm a huge fan of Protoman. I've seen him perform numerous times and son, he sets it off. This has to be his tightest shit to date. Better check yo'selfs if you haven't heard this song

Dope beat, really feeling the creepiness on this track. Good duo for this song. And who did those cuts?? Nasty...

Thanks to everyone who signed who and/or left a comment/rating. DJ Rob Riggs did the cuts. How selfish am I to have this song featured on a DJ influenced website and not mention his name!? He just put out a new mixtape of his own and did a megamix of all my unreleased stuff. You can download that here if you want. Thanksss.

I seen Pro post this and signed up. Its funny to hear these cats call this weird then I seen the sites other songs and said, "that's why". Not knocking the radio but to rate this low cause he ain't talking the same shit is a crime. This shit bangs and the mix is nuts. P got HiP Hop shit. Check the stuff he dropped with Rawkus. I read your were getting bored and wanted to do some different stuff..and look..its working. Daps on who posted this up. Its nice to see some creativness being brought to this redundancy. And P, come back to VA with Idee! @*#$! Florida! Haha.

I hope you plan on staying indie cause no major is going to sign this content. Lol. Like it though. I play this in the car while I'm on first dates. Like the new direction but can get I get a battle verse like the Analog days? Peace
