Rocky Fontaine - Things You Do
Artist: Rocky Fontaine
Producer: Sledgren
Album: DopeBoy
Label: Unsigned
Freestyle alum Rocky Fontaine’s new offering Things You Do is an urban flip of Minnie Riperton’s classic 1980 hit Here We Go, and the first release off of his new series, FontaineFridays. Alongside producer Sledgeren’s stuttering drums and old school guitar licks, Fontaine flows about living it up as one of Philly’s rising talents. The young emcees shows off his cocky-cool delivery while he crafts two verses boasting of his sometimes over-the-top luxurious lifestyle: “ Uhh life is beautiful / In the studio with a model cleaning my cuticles.” This is definitely a busy record; between Sledgren’s stammering percussion and Fontaine’s 78 different ad lib voices in the background, there is certainly no shortage of aural consumption. On the flip side, the Minni Riperton sample is dope, contributing perfectly to Fontaine’s chilled out demeanor. But I’ll save my personal opinion - as always the Booth will hash it out in the comments below. Those who enjoyed the money-waving, pedicure-getting Fontaine should follow his new weekly series FontaineFridays and look out for his upcoming project, DopeBoy.

The drums were a little too much or overdone but I liked everything else about the track. Minnie Riperton is one of my favs so shoutout on that 1. Ricky did his thing.

Another solid effort from Rocky. Sadly, he has the potential to be spectacular, yet we have not heard that to date. Someday... soon?

I like it, but the beat sounds a little off. I don't think the drum heavy beat matches his flow, and it seems to overpower him a little bit. A good effort, but nothing spectacular.

He's from Philly and not getting any burn on the radio? Send him to my show I'll play him. Solid track.
