Saheed - Far As I Can See
Artist: Saheed
Producer: Ozny
Album: Pray For The Best, Prepare For The Worst
Label: Unsigned
Saheed may be young (according to his MySpace bio, he’s 19), but, then again, age ain’t nothing but a number—on his Booth debut, Da Wilderness, the Miami-based emcee exhibited a 20/20 artistic vision and wisdom well beyond his years, and his keen insight into the ways of the world (and the music game) is equally evident on his second feature. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, the first official leak off the artist’s Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst mixtape finds him gazing “As Far As I Can See” over the game, delivering clear-eyed commentary on life’s complexities and the artistic grind in a frantic flow that seems to surge ahead of Ozny‘s darkly ambient piano-loop instrumental. Topped off with Floridian singer Sylvia Jaymes’ chilly yet intense hook vocals, this cut is sure to resonate with anyone who’s struggled to surmount difficult circumstances in pursuit of a big dream. Resuscitation Compilation: Pray For The Best, Prepare For The Worst has yet to receive a solid release date; keep it locked to the Booth for all the latest news and tunes!

If you don't feel the passion in this man's words, you might not have a pulse. My gosh. So much to say and not even time in each verse, haha. The chorus is a beautiful change-up.
Thanks for the premiere, Saheed!

LOL at Z, but that's the truth. Saheed displayed pure passion, emotion, and intensity on this track. Oh and his lyrics were tight too. The beat started out slow, but that didn't matter to this man, who just ripped it apart until it caught up wit him. When it did and them drums kicked in it was priceless, and the hook fit nicely. This man sounds like a hip-hop or "slam" poet to me, and that's real cool.

Definately worth listening. The power & emotion expressed in his verses are priceless. The beat is just breath taking as well as Sylvia's voice. Definately something Hip-Hop has been missing for a while.

A-Yo! He approaches this with the intensity of a man starving for meals. Lyrics are something to listen to and hook is just beautiful to the ears. Felt the mellow vibe of the beat, definitely a BANGER!!!

Def one of the best lyricist in Florida. Always tells like it is and never holds back. And his shows are equally as good. Props to Ozny for the super dope beat. NEW ERA! Catch Saheed and other South Florida artists at http://soflohiphopshow.ning.com/
