Smoke DZA - GoodTalk
Artist: Smoke DZA
Featuring: Dom Kennedy
Producer: Big K.R.I.T.
Album: George Kush Da Button
Label: High Times Records/Cinematic Music Group
If DJBooth were giving out awards for best mixtape title, my vote would easily go to Harlem emcee and Freestyle alum Smoke DZA’s George Kush Da Button. The Booth-sponsored tape has the kind of good living, smoky haze and soulful production that harkens listeners back to a 1950s jazz club, especially with frequent collaborators Ski Beatz and Big K.R.I.T. on board. Speaking of which, GKDB is heavy on collaborations, and one of the standouts from the tape is GoodTalk, featuring Leimert Park’s own Dom Kennedy. Trading barbs over some K.R.I.T. production that’s eerily similar to Just Blaze’s chopping of the Isley Brother’s Between the Sheets, both Dom & DZA embrace the idea of making feel good music full of braggadocio and success. DZA even states he’s, “Goku, Mr. Miyagi, Sonny from Bronx Tale and the n*gga who gave Leroy his glow.” I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have DZA with his finger on the button than G.W. So go ahead and enter DZA’s White
Green House and download George Kush Da Button now.

Though we only get one verse a piece from both DZA and Dom, "GoodTalk" is by far my favorite track on DZA's new "George Kush Da Button" mixtape. K.R.I.T. should have stepped away from the ProTools session and spit a verse of his own to round it out.

K.R.I.T. is all over the place lately. His production deserves some serious acclaim. Aside from the production, both emcees did a good job with the verses. I could rock with this. 3.5

This beat sounds like something that would have been given to a 2000 Jay-Z. Smoke and Dom take it in another direction, and the results are pretty damn good. Pretty high energy for a stoner album.

The production on this was really impressive, the lyrics and flow seemed really watered down however.
