On newly-released promo single Life Is Crazy, Booth newcomer Soulbrotha expresses a popular sentiment that rings true regardless of how many times it’s repeated: we should appreciate the lives we’ve got, since we’re not going to get another go-round. With producer AEON‘s sweeping, string-driven sample (taken from Gladys Knight’s cover of Curtis Mayfield’s The Makings of You) providing an introspective instrumental backdrop, the emcee employs a distinctive, slightly choppy flow as he addresses a few of the big existential questions that we all ponder at one point or another (“What’s the purpose of it all?” “Why does life suck?”). Though the subject matter is a little heavy, this record couldn’t have come at a better time – with the American economy still in shambles, there’s a big, big market for reassuring music; thus, Life Is Crazy‘s “grass is always greener” message should get Soulbrotha plenty of love both in and out of the Booth.

Soulbrotha spittin about truth and I gotta give him major props because he steppin outside of the box and talkin bout stuff not much people in hip-hop rap about. Great message and and the hook is solid.He nails his point and his flow is pretty good! Deep song!

The message is def nice to hear. The production is smooth. His vocals on the hook aren't great to me at all. His flow is cool, but a little choppy sounding. so, in rotation

Like I told SB earlier today... one of the best songs of the past 7 days to hit my inbox. And we're talking crazy records. Rotation, with head phones on...

I love Gladys Knight which is her in the beginning (The Making of You off the Cluadine soundtrack, great song). But enough about her and more on this song. It seem like he had so much too say and not enough time. The lyrics seem crammed together and not executed correctly.
