RayDawn - Heir
Artist: RayDawn
Producer: Cashous Clay
Album: Controlled Chaos 2 Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
Hmmm. Maybe I’m out of touch. Maybe it’s because I have tastes that exclude repetitious hooks for fear that folks are trying to hypnotize my mind like Three 6 Mafia. But I’ll serve the prince his plate. RayDawn, who is declaring royal supremacy with his first leak, Heir, from the upcoming mixtape Controlled Chaos 2, still has a little growing to do before he can take the throne. The SMKA, RocktheDub.com and YNotMyDream.com project gives the Pittsburgh-native a stage to deliver, but this has thrown me for a loop. Literally. Matching a Boyz II Men classicwith a familiar Atlanta-patterned bassline, Cashous Clay crafts an instrumental that, though a little repetitive for my taste, would sound right at home at a heavy Chevy car show. Though it’s unclear whether Ray’s off-cadence rhyming is amateur or simply “his personal style,” I won’t write the prince off; given a little time, he just might develop that offbeat flow into something heads will love. We’ll see on April 29, when Controlled Chaos 2 drops….that is, if the peasants don’t behead him.

Props to Cashous Clay for bringing back the DOPE Boyz II Men sample, which immediately had me searching through my old CD catalog books for some Motownphilly-era sh**t. RayDawn needs to grow on a me a little more, and that might or might not happen in due time, but this is a start.

I like this. It seems like a lighter version of a track that Jarren Benton would make. And I absolutely adore the beat. The chorus doesn't bother me much, but I can see how the repetitive nature would scare some people off. Overall, great track.
