To quote the great philosopher Andy Warhol, “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” Or, as This Sh*t emcee Sol puts it on his second Booth feature, “We all know that nothing is forever babe, but if you stay where you are, [The] Times will never change.” The latest single off the Washington native’s forthcoming EP, this contemplative cut finds Sol reflecting upon the march of history. Budo takes a characteristically eclectic approach behind the boards, layering distorted guitar riffs over syncopated percussion as the headliner reminds his peers that passivity in the face of change will quickly send them the way of the dinosaur (“Get off your corner with your mixtapes, and get off MySpace.”), and Rhymesayers representative Grieves brings the record home with a lyrical meditation on the transition from LPs, to vinyl, to MP3s. Like what you’re hearing? There’s plenty more where this insightful cut came from on Dear Friends, Vol III, scheduled to drop next Monday, July 25.

Like I have been saying for weeks now, there must be something in the water in the upper Northwest. How else do you explain the consistently dope music from that region? Sol is two-for-two inside our Booth. I look forward to his new EP (if it sounds anything like both his features).

Awesome. Love the Budo and Grieves combo. Those two really have a great chemistry. Sol is quickly becoming one of my favorite new artists.

Budo's work behind the boards makes the song.
