Rocky Fontaine - Best in the City ft. Maino & Gillie Da Kid
Artist: Rocky Fontaine
Featuring: Maino , Gillie Da Kid
Producer: Tha Cornaboyz
Album: Entourage Season 1: The Mixtape [Hosted By DJ Khaled]
Label: Unsigned
Inspired by the famous movie series about a former Philadelphia street thug who went on to dominate the boxing world, Philly native Rocky Fontaine is ready to charge like a stallion to the top of the industry. This November, he might very well be on his way with the tentative release of his new mixtape, Entourage: Season 1, hosted by Mr. We the Best himself, DJ Khaled. So, how does Rocky back up his claim that he’s the Best In The City? He plans to rep the City of Brotherly Love more thoroughly than anyone else ever has or will. Featuring guest verses by the on-the-rise Maino and fellow Philadelphian emcee Gillie Da Kid, and produced by Tha Cornaboyz, Best In The City showcases some of the best young talent that Philadelphia has to offer.

This hook and production vibe sounds like some throwback NSYNC. Lance Bass would've smashed this! I'm liking this though. It sounds sort of epic with a throwback 80s pop rock feel. Rocky definitely shows promise though. I feel his fresh flow and vocal presence. Maino was okay, but he wasn't that great. Gillie usually smashes everything he hops on...AND NOTE HOW HE MADE SURE HE DIDN'T GIVE PROPS TO CASSIDY (CUZ THEY ARE/WERE BEEFING), knowing that Cassidy is probably one of the artists from the P.Town to do a lot in the industry. I felt that was a direct shot...anybody else think so? Overall, this is a great track that I wouldn't mind hearing again. My opinion is that it could have done without Maino and maybe used a different, more skilled rapper to make it a classic. Some of the verses could have been a tad stronger as well. I want to give it a 4, but I think I'll stick with rotation for now.

One sentence comment day...
Rocky is the most impressive up-in-coming artist out of Philly since I was first turned on to Beans back in the late 90s.

Tracks make me think of Rock City, and that was before realising his name was Rocky. The production is on point, the hook is OK, and the verses are pretty dope. Rocky shows he has potentional.

This is a straight banger! The production is super, soft and chillin and they sing outstandingly. The hook is the best part of the song, but the verses aren't less good for sure...I hope this will become a hit!

It's pure fire, Fontaine. It's got a ridiculous amount of potential, has all the makings of a big hit. Haven't heard of you until this song, but I will have to keep my eye out for your name. Keep it up.

In my opinion you have more than potential man your there just need the world to see you!! Your @*#$! wit dj khaled and slim n them why aint they put you on??WTF there's alot rappers with gillie or cassidy flows and voices but your fresh! Make a good video no offense to any curent ones but they feel low budget and get on BET thats where you belong put philly back on the map!

Im glad you rock wit my music homie, i appreciate you. But to answer the question about why Khaled or Slim dont put me on, the game is a lil different nowadays. They all rock wit me super hard but they have projects and things that they been working on for a while that is just coming to light for them yadig. So even though they might want to they gotta take care of them cause niggas aint eatin in the game like they used to. Plus they know ima be aight and ima get that light when the times right yadig.
