Today, as we stare down a new offering from Chicago representer Rhymefest, we find ourselves in a classic good news, bad news situation. The bad news? Creative differences caused Fest to split with J Records, pushing back the release of his long-awaited album El Che slightly. The good news? In the meantime he’s decided to let us hear some new music, and if How High is any indication, the wait will be more than worth it. How High’s celebratory, hard rock guitar-laced production comes to us courtesy of S1 and Caleb (for Soul Kontrollaz Production), who provide an intensely sonic backdrop for Fest to drop some serious rhymes about soaring above life’s troubles (sorry stoners, it’s not about that “high.”) Throw in some guest vocals from the always quality Little Brother and you’ve got a track guaranteed to build anticipation to a fevered pitch. El Che’s revolutionary sound will (finally) hit our eardrums sometime this spring. Keep it locked to DJBooth.net for more updates.

People have been waiting quite some time for a new Rhymefest album... and finally we get a preview of what is to come off El Che.
Independence from the majors has clearly allowed my fellow Chicago native to do his own thing. We all win as a result.

if this isn't the definition ov real hip hop, i really don't know what is. rhymefest will be recognized years down the line as one of the most talented mc's who never got his due credit

I wanted to give this 5 stars but it wouldn't let me for some reason.

Funny, I was just listening to 'Brand New' in the car before (Kanye ripped his verse on that track).
This track is solid, production is solid, though Rhymefest is the real highlight on this track. Little Brother sounded pretty tight to Im suprised Rhymefest isnt signed to G.O.O.D. Music |

This is good. When It started off I wasn't feeling the drum rift, but my the end I was a believer. I love the message.

In all honesty, this is my second favorite artistic work named How High (props to Red and Meth) but I'll take it any day. The beat's celebratory without going overboard, and Fest's rhymes are a perfect fit.
@aussiepride "Im suprised Rhymefest isnt signed to G.O.O.D. Music." That makes two of us, what's up?

I've been waiting to hear something new from Rhymefest for a while now, as we all know how tight Blue Collar was. This song is exactly what i expected and the addition of Little Brotehr only adds to a great song.

Everyone drops a weighty verse and frankly I'm downright impressed with the beat on this track alone. Energetic motivational anthem.
Happy to read all of the above comments. Despite less grindin' Rhymefest's name still rings out as one to watch in many Hip-Hop circles, and this particular offering does support that notion. |

this song tries to be more epic than it is. rhymefest has good lines but lacks the presence of a real dominant rapper.

Love everything about this song except for the hook. Don't hate it, but it just brings the song down a bit.

Dude just rhymes like he MEANS IT. Track's nice and solid for that wave-ya-hand-in-the-ay-air vibe. Like the hook. This is a good record, y'all. J Records' loss is our gain.
Go Fest Go. |

On my fifth rotation and with each spin I discover a new quality that makes this a solid record. The beat is ridiculous but never over powers the artists. That electronic guitar makes the beat. Little Brother is a nice compliment to the track but Rhymefest proves his headliner ownership. It feels refreshing when artists put out music that reminds the public (or just me) what good Hip-Hop music is and not what Radio is deeming what music I as a listener should favor. Rhymefest I look forward to hearing more...
