Ricky Hil - Won't You Tell Me
Artist: Ricky Hil
Producer: infamous
Album: Limosa Nostra Act 1
Label: Limo Life Music Group
When you think, “lonely stoner with girl problems and a deadpan, sung-rapped flow,” I’m willing to bet that the first name to spring to your mind begins with a “Kid” and ends with a “CuDi.” Well, today, a second artist adds his name to that short list: Rich Hil, making his Booth debut with new single Won’t You Tell Me. Here, the defiantly uncapitalized infamous serves up a pensive piano loop as Rich Hil shares his troubles, both in the romantic arena and the not-being-able-to-talk-to-Mom-on-the-phone arena (hey, don’t laugh – that does suck). Oh, and Scott Mescudi makes an appearance as well, stepping up to the mic to contribute his own smoke-seasoned vocals on the chorus. Does the angstfully fresh style Rich Hil brings to this track leave you intrigued? Well, you’ll be able to find plenty more where this came from on Limosa Nostra Act 1, scheduled to drop on April 21 (aka, Recovering From 4/20 Day).

It took me a while before I heard where Kid CuDi's "Pursuit of Happiness" ended and where this song began.
I think Rich Hil is one of those artists who needs to have every track he puts out be able to suit his voice perfectly. If all of his efforts are like this one, I don't think we have anything to worry about. |

Don't quit your day job just yet Rich Hil. Kid Cudi was his usual self (good), but Rich Hil was just lagging on the verses. Not my type of song.

Its too similar to Man On The Moon for me. If that album hadn't happened, I would have liked this track a lot better.

Im expecting big things on this track with kid cudi. And the beat definitly issnt disappointing
tell me whats going on tell me where my mind has gone, tell me why mom aint home, keep calling my moms phone....keep getting the ringtone))). You can definitly hear the kid cuddi influence on this track even with no verse from the smoke and lazy flowed rapper Its classic Kid cuddi type track slow drawn out and involves thought. But this track aint about him though, rich hill doesnt disappoint with his verse but its not the quality so much so as its the delivery. the chorus makes it a sing-along type joint when your by yourself with you eyes closed. Im definitely into it but its a shame kid cuddi didn't participate in more then just the chorus. It gets 3spns nothing more nothing less |

Nice introduction to Mr. Hil. The Cudi feature definitely helps, but the vocals and production from infamous do the trick. I'm anxious to hear what else Hil has up his sleeve.

Just about what I would expect on a Kid Cudi track, except half of it came from Rich Hil. Good production but a lil too similar to Cudis past work to really stand out.

Hil and Cudi have done much better songs than this (Ex: "Trippy" and "Girls, Sounds, & Colors"). KuDi is his usual good self on here, but Hil really doesn't do much for the track.

Like some have said, this track is very similar to a few of the songs on Man On The Moon. The production is the highlight for me, Infamous put in some nice work on the boards. CuDi was a good choice for a guest feature, though I thought he wasnt used as effectively as he was in another Hil song called Girls Sounds & Colours (he puts in a pretty dope verse on that track)

Im going against the grain on this one and saying i liked it alot. Yes its similar to Cudi songs but i think that just might of been the idea here. I really dont know if we'll be hearing anything too special out of Hill. Im not saying he did anything bad...just nothing spectacular.

Minus the beat (which wasn't that great) and the CuDi hook, I wouldn't have listened to this.
After listening, the lyrics aren't too polished. Hil does alright on it, but I feel he could've came better on it. I think if this was a solo KiD CuDi joint that it would have a bigger impact on people. |

Typical Cudder track, although Rich Hil does do a good job. The production really allows him to shine, his delivery is perfect with the flow.

let me put this into two categories: that is if i was high and if i was not. lets start with high
Stoner HipHop has realy come to the fore in recent years and so im not surprised a new guy wants to step into that genre Mind you im not high but i pretty much now know how i feel about a Cudi hook during a slowish tempo beat. i space out basically and cant stop smiling like i f&%kin wierdo. i'd give a 4 now when im not high, its like a total 180. i was not a big fan of Cudi at before i heard him when i was high. i thought he was overrated and basically felt the same way about Wiz and Currency. the beat never really matches his voice and Rich who is following his predecessors follows suit. i'd give it a 2 so a 3 on average |

I like the beat, and KiD CuDi's part especially, but the verse is kinda just there. It doesn't stand out to me at all. Now that the song is over I don't really remember what he was talking about. The fact that he got Cudi on the track means he's around the right people to help him hone his craft. So maybe next time we'll get a banger. For now I'll say "in rotation" b/c people will want to here it for Kid CuDi's part.

Wow this is a little disappointing considering what we've all heard can happen when Kudi lays his talents to track. Sadly the Production is sick and tailor made for a Kudi/hipster flow. Rich drowns the beat with mono tone and is ultimately just talking over this monster-of-a-beat by Infamous, it just saddens me.

The beat from Infamous is sick...but I'm not a big fan of the vocals on the hook. I don't know if its a coincidence that this sound like a Cudi track or just because hes the feature on here. It just an alrite track...but Hil has potential for sure

Is this a bonus track for Man on the Moon? Could've fooled me.
Slow and relaxed flow, bangin bass, and overdubbing galore form the beat and vocals. I wish the hook was a bit more defined, instead of having a mishmash of voices. And please stop trying to sing...those high notes were a bit painful. Minus one star. I will be keeping an eye in Rich, only because I liked Man on the Moon and want some more. You should do the same if you're a fan of Cudi. This didn't re-invent the wheel, but it's not stagnant yet. Definitely check it out. |

From the beginning I am loving the production. Definitely the type of beat I can see CuDi making an appearance on, whether its his song or just a verse.
A real mellow track, Rich Hil lays down some deep lines and comes off strong on this. You can tell the song has some sincere meaning behind it and Hil does a great job of getting that across. CuDi does a good job on the chorus. His voice lends to that kind of eerie feeling the song is giving off. Like I said from the beginning, definitely the type of record CuDi can handle, and it does not dissapoint, and neither does Hil. |

If Cudi wasn't on this track, this track would be a throw-away. The Beat and Cudi both over-shadow Rich Hil.
