Saheed - Gaza Trip
Artist: Saheed
Featuring: Numonics
Producer: Numonics
Album: Not for Nothing
Label: Unsigned
When I learned that Saheed intended to address both the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Windy City’s violent crime epidemic on his latest single, my reaction was, “Damn.” After listening to the record and hearing the Chicago-born rhymesayer (the son of a Palestinian father) successfully execute that ambitious concept, that turned to, “Damn!” On Gaza Trip, Jewish producer and fellow Florida resident Numonics crafts a sampled beat worthy of a Spaghetti Western standoff as Saheed draws one key parallel between the two situations: in both cases, it’s not a question of who’s right, but rather how to ramp down hostilities on all sides before more lives are lost. For this powerful cut, the previously-featured I Go On and much more download the DJBooth/8&9 Clothing-presented Not for Nothing LP, scheduled to hit our front page in January 2013.

Hmm this is an interesting one. It has some okay beats. I appreciate the fact that it was different but I'm not really feeling this one too much..

First, let me just say, that I am a fan of Saheed's. We have supported his work at the site for years. However, when this song landed in my inbox this morning, I had GREAT hesitation in featuring it.
Anything involving the Middle East peace conflict is subject to overt criticism and racy, uneducated opinions. I thought Saheed handled the record so well, though, that it wouldn't be fair to not let his prospective be heard.

I like the throwback beat, but lyrically this just was average... It's OK though.

Big fan of Saheed, but I really didn't like the track that much. Everything seemed kind of bland, even the lyrics. Still, I'm looking forward to Not For Nothing. I would play this again.

Everything Saheed and Numonics create is pure FIRE. Whether individually or in collaboration, two of the hardest working and creative forces in hip hop in south Florida. Really looking forward to the complete project.
