Saukrates - Wednesday (Remix)
Artist: Saukrates
Producer: Tone Mason
Album: Season One
Label: Frostbyte Media
I’ve always had a great amount of respect for those who drink their coffee black because it’s a drink exclusively for those who are tough enough to handle the undiluted flavor. In a generation full of iced-mocha-frappuccino radio singles, emcee, producer, and songwriter Saukrates offers us some much-needed black coffee with the remix of his newest single, Wednesday. The track, which now features an over-enunciated yet praiseworthy guest verse from Toronto native D-Sisive, showcases Tone Mason’s gritty, occasionally dark production behind Saukrates’ prophetic sound. The stripped beat would be an easy choice for any freestyle battle and could compliment any street vet, but Sauk makes it his own, confidently gracing it with his assertive style. Those who are drawn to this remix will likely find it just as appealing if not even more of a head-nodder than the original, and for good reason. Look out for Wednesday on Saukrates’ forthcoming album, Season One, coming later this year. In the meantime, try to lay off the frappuccinos.

This would have made a lot more sense feature-wise if it had popped-up in our inbox earlier on Wednesday (see song title), but semantics-withstanding its a banger. I am not in love with the hook (it gets a little annoying by the time the third chorus is sung), but the verse are solid as is the production.

The compression and auto-gate on Sauk's vox is distracting. The distortion on the kick is fatiguing. What the generic synth bass patch lacks grease and organic analog goodness it makes up for in overbearing omnipresence that drowns out the interesting elements in the beat production. I like D-Sisive's verse though it's not a show stopper in terms of knock-out flow. I've listened to this 3 times now. Doubt if I'll hear it again.

Man it's been a Minute since I've heard some Saukrates. Made me look up "Father Time". I'm with you Z on the Chorus's losing it's welcome by the end, but overall not a bad effort.
