Some up-and-coming emcees skirt around the topic of their bank accounts, while others flat-out lie about their finances (or lack thereof). Booth newcomer Scheme, however, is not ashamed to admit that he knows exactly how it feels to be Broke, as he explains on this unreleased cut. Backed by producer Selfish‘s swung Chipmunk-soul beat, the Windy City rhymesayer expresses solidarity with anyone who’s ever struggled to make ends meet, exhibiting a determination to rise above hardship while acknowledging that there are more important things in life than the Almighty Dollar: “We’re children of no means, we find meaning in God… no matter how broke we are, we’re still chasin’ the top.” Scheme’s wise words, along with the retro-informed boardwork, will undoubtedly earn praise from lovers of conscious, old-school-informed jams. Though this track, recorded three years ago, isn’t set to appear on the artist’s latest street album, fans are sure to find more to their liking on YNotMyDream.com Presents: 1 when it drops late this month.

When Scheme told me earlier today that this song was recorded three years ago but never released I wasn't surprised. If the music is good nobody should be able to tell when it was created; quality music is timeless. While this is his Booth intro, we've been up on the Chicago emcee for quite some time. Nothing will change after this one.

This song lacks something IMO. It's not that good, but at the same time it's not really that bad either. 2.5

this guy is saying real stuff, but he got to stop mumbling and turn up the volume on the mic, also he dont need all that extra production noise.

149th brings up a good point. This track is ill, but what would have made it really sick is a little editing. The beat's doing too much, and it tends to overwhelm the vocals at times. Feeling this, but sometimes less is more.

Good lyrics but everything else fails to impress me at all.

Alright - something I would typically not listen to. The beat was ok very simple which there is nothing wrong with that but when you combine it with a generic voice it is just ok
