Sonny Bamboo - Nikes Laced Up
Artist: Sonny Bamboo
Producer: J57
Album: Leprechaun Don
Label: Independent Atlien Workshop
If Sonny Bambooo were a few inches taller, he might not be making his Booth debut today. On Nkes Laced Up, the lead single off his next album, the ATL rhymesayer recounts how the crushing disappointment of realizing that he’d never be tall enough to be competitive on the b-ball court led him to start developing his skills on the mic. Brown Bag All-Star J57 backs the artist’s narrative bars with a cinematic, string-driven sample, and DJ Wushu tops it all off with some old-school cuts. For more, check out Sonny Bamboo’s Leprechaun Don LP, available on iTunes as of November 2011.

First we had Nike Boots from Wale, now Sonny gives us Nike's Laced Up. The video is OK, but I love the back story behind the song and the production is a plus.

Sonny Bamboo's "Nike's Laced Up" comes from the heart. Very introspective and lyrical combined with Wushu's ill scatching & J57's dope beat=CLASSIC!! The video really hits you when you see real footage of Sonny's high school years aspiring to be the next balling phenom. This song needs to be an NBA finals soundtrack. And btw, every joint on the Leprechaun Don album is fire.

Sonny Bamboo, ironically, went hard in the paint with this one! It's refreshing to be able to hear someone who can write about their life and REALLY make you FEEL their struggle...even when it's difficult for YOU to actually relate. One of the best writers in the south IMO...DOPE VID!
