Rain - Time Flies [Premiere]
Artist: Rain
Producer: Rain
Album: American Dreamin' (Pt. 3)
Label: First In Flight
With his DJBooth-sponsored project right around the corner, Rain comes through once more to give us a taste of the album’s quality sound. The latest premiere, Time Flies, is a smoothed out record that Rain spits very comfortably on. Reminiscing about the past while enjoying his present lifestyle, the North Carolina emcee spits genuine, from the heart bars - but doesn’t overwhelm you with them: “We slide through the block party, where the women went? / Givin ones to the kids, let ‘em live a bit.” Skillfully, he showcases a balance that allows you to focus on the lyrics while still being able to groove to the beat. Speaking of the instrumental, which is also handled by Rain, it may just be the best part of the track; the sample driven production lulls the listener into a place of tranquility. Cuts like this are the reason I’m looking forward to July 21, when Rain finally drops his project American Dreamin’ (Pt. 3). But what can I say? I’m a sucker for artists who write and produce their own material.

I liked his first feature best. I don't think the production benifits very well on this one.

Out of all the tracks I've heard from Rain so far, this might be one of my least favorites. It's a solid track, I'm digging that mellowed out vibe, but lyrically he sounds more like your average emcee than the one-in-a-thousand emcee we've heard before.
