RAtheMC - Intoxicated
Artist: RAtheMC
Producer: AB the Producer
Album: Heart of a Champion
Label: Unsigned
It’s been a hell of a year for RatheMC. When she dropped her last solo DJBooth feature, Spaceships, a year ago she was a relatively unknown DMV rapper. Fast forward 365 and Ra’s got a video in rotation on VH1, just finished filming a Sprite commercial with Drake and is gearing up to release her debut album Heart of a Champion. But don’t worry, Ra hasn’t become Intoxicated by her growing fame – her new single finds the DJBooth Freestyle alum as sober and down to Earth as ever. Built around a sample of Lauryn’s Hill’s staggeringly beautiful Sweetest Thing, which boardsmith AB The Producer deftly flips, Intoxicated finds Ra reflecting on where she’s going, and where she’s been: “Round here, instead of fake it till you make it, they hate it till you make it then say that you they favorite.” She hasn’t “made it” yet, but with more tracks like this, Ra will continue to convert haters like a hip-hop missionary. For more music from the Heart of a Champion, stay tuned to DJBooth, who will be dropping RatheMC’s sure-to-be-dope project “soon”.

this is mediocre at best. Weak hook, uninspired track, pedestrian content, absolutely nothing special about the voice or delivery. Why exactly is this on DJBooth?

I'm really feeling the lyrics on this track and the backdrop of the beat only compliments them.

I've yet to hear too much from the DMV that's really impressive. Somebody should explain how one decent MC from that area can let the floodgates open for a bunch of bums... This is ok.. not modern sounding though, reminds me of NONCHALANT with the voice. (from 5 o clock fame)

Ra can spit her ass off. The production here isn't the best she has ever selected to spit over (sorry, AB), but she works it.

Wow, I have to say I'm surprised by the level of hate. Is there some sort of anti-DMV backlash going on? Based on KAydal's comment it seems so.
Just so we're clear, that beat is tight, so even if you're not a fan of Ra's lyrical work I don't see how you could give this track one star. Really SexyNatural? Really? At it's absolute worst it's a track with a great beat, average lyrics and a weak hook. I don't see how that possibly adds up to one star. I'm on the other end of the spectrum though. I'll agree the hook needs work, but otherwise I was really feeling this. We need more female emcees in the game, keep going Ra. |

I feel like the production never really got started, like it had a hard time getting a proper intro.
