How is rapper Red Café able to do so much Paper Touchin’, you ask?  Evidently, it’s because he can be found On Da Block hustlin’ every day and night.  Yes, it’s cliché, and yes, it’s exactly what we’ve heard from Rick Ross, Young Hot Rod, B.G., Huey and countless other artists.  But as long as it’s true, who are we to criticize?  After all, DJBooth isn’t about the hate!  Joining Café on this new track from his Eviction Notice mixtape (available online today) are currently-trendy hook singer, Sean Kingston, and fellow Brooklyn native and Shakedown artist, Ross Fortune.  Pitching in the production work is super-producer, J.R. Rotem, whose talents might be called on again when Red drops his long-awaited solo debut, Da Shakedown, later this year.

LOL....why is it that I get that Paul Wall verse syndrome when I hear a Sean Kingston hook. It just sounds like every other hook he's done and I can't remember which goes with which song. LOL. This isn't bad though. Rotem's production was decently solid as always. Red Cafe is pretty straight as well. He doesn't suck, so that's plus. I really like the mixing and engineering on this joint. Ross Fortune held his own too. His voice is unique. I'll put this in rotation.

This Kingston hook is on song with Hot Dolla rapping, yea? I think Red Cafe sounds good, but I don't think I could listen to this hook that many more times since I played out the Hot Dolla version. Anyway, it's aite.

In March, DJBooth featured Hot Dollar and Sean Kingston's "On Da Block." Remember... this is a mixtape people. Plus, Dollar never pursued the rights to the song either. His verse was only used for a mixtape as well.

To me this is a mixtape track, its missing a DJ screamin all over it and some corny ass siren sound. This cool but not for me.

I honestly didn't like this song with hot dollar. I don't like this much either. I do like Red Cafe but Sean Kingston annoys me

This one was aight the beat was cool but will get old and the lyrics was ok Red can do better.Sean's hook was simple but it worked all in all a decent track.Nothing realy stood out that would make it a banger.

This isn't bad...I like the music, the beat and the chorus! But after a while it may get boring to me! It's in rotation, a decent cut
