Shawn Chrystopher - Lose Your Mind
Artist: Shawn Chrystopher
Producer: Shawn Chrystopher
Album: A City With No Seasons
Label: Honour Role Music
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from hip-hop, it’s this: in order to be the best, you have to say you’re the best. Thus, whenever anyone asks me what I do for a living, I respond, “Oh, I’m just the greatest track reviewer in the history of the world.” That usually impresses people so much that they roll their eyes and walk away, too awestruck to continue the conversation. As evidenced by the second official leak off A City With No Seasons, Shawn Chrystopher takes a similar level of pride in his craft—making its exclusive, 24-hour premiere right here in the Booth, Lose Your Mind is all about the Inglewood emcee’s commitment to greatness. Fittingly, the track’s a one-man show; in addition to rapping his own praises in confident, braggadocio-drenched verses, Chrystopher backs his rhymes with tension-fraught synth strings, harpsichord, and even a little old-school beatboxing. Showcasing formidable skills on both sides of the boards, the rapper makes a convincing case for his supremacy. If you agree that this West Coast buzzmaker is destined to climb to the top of the game, be sure and grab a copy of his latest full-length when it drops August 11th.

Shawn really turned in an all-around enjoyable effort here. The production work is really top notch (I didn't he could do it like THIS), and I agree (with that1kid13) the chorus most def makes this song what it is.
This gets you hype, but in a classy way. Hard to explain, but it works.

This track belongs in NBA 2k10. Sooooo hype, but like DJ Z said, kind of in a laidback way. When you KNOW you're the best, you can just sit back, people will know.

This is a cool track. I thought the production was the best part here. Shawn brought a tight flow but lyrically didn't really say anything special. The hook was real nice. I dug this. 3.5

Wow! So motivational... I might forget when to stop if I listen to this at the gym. The instruments are so well orchestrated, there's plenty to appreciate here.
I disagree with the chorus being the best part, I actually enjoyed the verses more, the flow is so much better. Shawn is really talented and raps like someone who has something to say should. @richard: lol, great job with the blurb intro man! You are definitely my favorite track reviewer in the history of... djbooth.net! Which is the... BEST hip hop site in the history of the world, so you're pretty much accurate! ;) |

The production sounds really epic and sounds great! Shawn Chrystopher's lyrics are nothing special but he makes up for it with his agressiveness and hunger. The chorus sounds amazing ..solid song overall!

I knew was in for a treat as @FredRico decided to throw a feedback on it, and the track didn't disappoint. The beat is perfect for punctuating the braggadocio from our host.... BANGER!!!
