Oh, Canada, what have you brought us this time around? Toronto native (and hip-hop up-and-comer) Saukrates makes his premiere in the Booth today, and as the modern-day father of philosophy, he’s here to invent a way to make it Hot Like Summer year round. On his first solo track feature, Saukrates puts his talents to use over a hauntingly catchy production thrown together by Tone Mason. His deep vocals and steady rhyme pattern reflect his experience in the game, and the feature from Andreena Mill takes the track’s energy to another level with her beautiful contribution on the hook. As a part of Big Black Lincoln (and Redman’s Gilla House Group), the man clearly knows how to grab the listener’s attention and shake it to the core, with intro bars like “I was drunk when I wrote this/So you know that I’m giving you truth.” Damn. If you like what this track has to offer, stay tuned to the Booth for Sauk’s album, Season One, dropping soon.

One of my favorite new records over the last few weeks. I've probably played this about 10 times a day since it popped up in our inbox last week.

This hook hits you - and I mean hard! Its already cold in Chicago, but this indeed brings me to a much happier mental climate.

I heard this record earlier this week. The production is so captivating. Saukrates really brought it and I've also loved Andreena Mill since I heard her on Drake records back in 2007.

If anybody could get me this beat, I'd love you forever, #NoJessicaSimpson

(And PAUSE that last statement if you're a guy that finds it. LOL.)

Sweet baby Jesus, this one killed me. Just some flat-out quality hip-hop, and there's not much more to be said. Maybe I shouldn't be so quick to dismiss everything that comes from Canada except syrup.

The production is good and Saukrates flows tightly with the beat. Andreena Mill on hook was nice too, but certainly ain't feeling this as much as y'all. Rotation from me.

I'm not really feeling this. The production is nothing special and it didn't move me at all. Where are all of these high ratings coming from? It's an okay joint but not in my rotation at this time. Tomorrow doesn't look promising either.

Wow, I'm speechless. Well, not really because there is so much good things to say about this masterpiece. This song is greatness. I've heard some of his other songs, but none of them compare to this.

The beat is breath taking. The lyrics are those of a true legend. I used to think AZ was the most underrated rappers of all time, but I think my opinion has changed completely. I am beyond excited for Season One to drop.

another reason for me to take that longer route back home from work.. give myself that extra few minutes to take in that good day -- I'm a fan Big Sox.
