Solitair - Dreams ft. Melanie Durrant & Richie Sosa
Artist: Solitair
Producer: Solitair
Album: Solitair YYZ-T1
Label: Black Jays
As we learned on his Booth debut, T-Dot’s Solitair simply Can’t Front. If you’re not convinced of the Black Jays rapper’s total dedication to keeping it real, take a listen to this new cut (making its online premiere here in the Booth), on which he admits that, though his early exposure to legends like KRS-One and Gang Starr ignited a lifelong passion for hip-hop, a few more pragmatic desires factored into his musical Dreams—big money, smokin’ hot groupies, screaming fans, that kind of thing. Of course, the game isn’t always so glamorous as magazine covers make it out to be; over Solitair’s own rock-organ beat, he and fellow Toronto emcee Richie Sosa explain that, by the time you realize how easily those dreams you’ve been pursuing can turn to nightmares, they’re all you’ve got left. Complete with a hook by singer Melanie Durrant (also a T.O. Native) and a bombastic arena-rock guitar solo, this record should have no trouble taking root in listeners’ heads. If you like what you’re hearing, download a copy of newly-released mixtape Solitair YYZ-T1, the official prelude to studio album The Departure (due out June 1).

The production impresses and Solitair brings some hot rhymes. The hook is smooth and Richie Sosa does his thing. Solid track

Pretty hot track here. I was way more for the production than the artist but still can't hate.

It's great to hear refreshing music like this. I hooked up with Solitair last time he swung through Chicago with Kardinal. Dude has a diverse array of skills. This shows almost all of them. T Dot stand up.

T dot is about to take over the game soon-enough...first Kardinal then Drizzy Drake now Solitair and company...its gonna be a problem mannnnnn
I admire dudes with more then one hustle, specially when it comes to rapping/producing...right from the bat Solitair caught me off guard with that funky bass and high hats, Melanie def added a lil bit of spice and both dudes are real nice lyrically...the guitar at the ended was the icing on the cake " you gotta follow your dreams right, only if it feels right..." |

I dig it.... it's like something a young KRS-One would have put down...TRUTH.. we don't get to hear much of that any more. Solitair is reaching out to his listeners, how many artist these days can say they relate to their listeners?

Originality... That's a banger automatically right. A good concept seems to work (too well) with Solitair. GREAT lyrics as well.

I'm not excited about this song. He has a great energy and the beat is cool but I hate the music, it's too repetitive. I didn't like the hook, either. It's fresh and I'd put it in rotation, but it isn't a banger at all to me

This production was supersick. All three artists' flows and vocals fit well over it. My fav was the second verse, and the sample was tight.
