While engaging in the “sincerest form of flattery” may earn an artist short-term success, musical copycats are always, eventually unmasked for what they are: pale imitations of the real thing. Sene, for one, cares more about creating quality tunes than sucking up to the big names. On this newly-leaked mixtape cut, the emcee informs listeners that he’s not one to Follow Leaders, even if his determination to forge his own path in the game means passing up the chance at fast cash. Beatsmith Tranzformer backs Sene’s confidently flowed musings on authenticity with an instrumental sure to bring a smile to the faces of old-school Nintendo fans (myself included), superimposing 8-bit synths over a head-nodding percussion loop. Trendy or no, Sene’s commitment to realness and dedication to his craft will undoubtedly score him points with heads in the Booth. Originally featured on Booth-presented compilation mixtape Brooklyn’s Finest, Leaders is also set for inclusion on the artist’s own forthcoming street album, Reality Bites. Watch for the 2DopeBoyz/KevinNottingham/RubyHornet/DJBooth.net-presented project to hit our front page “soon.”

i feel like i am in the world of pac-man...the beat is kind of "tranzformed", not a great beat but not bad...dude got some heavy wordplay...the hook is straight garbage...sound like my lil brother came up with it...not a solid song especially when that sample can get annoying after a while...small rotation for the word play but thats it...

99% of the time (and yes, this is merely empirical data) video game music and/or sound effects do NOT make for good production groundwork. Tranzformer, however, is in the 1% percentile who was able to make it work.
On the vocals Sene has an immense amount of talent and I strongly believe that our regulars will like what they hear on his forthcoming Booth-approved project!

I still remember hearing Busta Rhymes' "Game Room"...I thought "Can't anybody make video game beats ANY better?"
Fortunately, Sene did just that! Looking forward to "Reality Bites"! |

As stated above the beat is very video game'ish but it's really good!!
Sene sounds good but it sounds like he's rushing through the lyrics....slow down take a breath and relax cuz the beat has a very high energy sound but at the same time very mellow with that bass line!! HOT TRACK.... |

Didn't know what to expect after the beginning (sounds super Timbaland-esque) but Sene really takes it to another level on the lyrics. There's no way you're not nodding your head to this one. No way.
Now if you'll excuse me, for some reason I have the unstoppable urge to go play Zelda.

I like the beat, although it can potentially be annoying, for the most part it is catchy. Sene as expected, handles sh!t on the mic without problems. Rotation fa sho!

Not a fan of the Siper Mario/Zelda sample. Totally shoots itself in the foot for me.
