Spree Wilson - Word

Producer: No I.D.

Album: Evil Angel E.P.

Label: Unsigned

Though Spree Wilson‘s already won considerable reader acclaim for Novel collabos Dreamworld and I Am, the Georgia-based up-and-comer’s still unsure whether heads in the Booth and beyond are hearing him—thus, he’s released a brand new single sure to catch the listening public’s attention. Leaked to the ‘net back in June but presented here in its official, finished form, the Evil Angel track finds Spree greeting his fans, his haters, and everyone in between with a hearty shout of, “Word!” Flexing his distinctive flow around Chi-town icon No I.D.‘s densely-layered, intertwining synth lines and grimy percussion, the rapper clues us in on what he’s all about: in verses packed with oddball lyrical gems, he describes himself as “a modern-day bluesman,” “a misfit with some bright ideas,” and “a fearless freak,” employing a bouncy delivery perfectly attuned to the instrumental’s off-kilter vibe. This uniquely catchy, slightly dizzying single makes a big impression, and listeners digging its out-of-this-world style are sure to find more to their liking on Spree’s Evil Angel EP, due out in September.

Mr.Top Hat Tastemaker Total Ratings: 4267	Rating: Mr.Top Hat's Top Rated Songs First off, most of that fresh! musical breeze must be accredited to No.I.D.'s production engine - creating a very unique landscape for Spree to lay down his fresh! rhymes. They certainly created a chemistry (Read DJZ's feedback) here that should not go unnoticed ... BANGER!!! "So Anybody Thas Coming To Slack/ Chances Being Heard Bout As Slim as Barak!"

PattyPatty85 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 3212	Rating: PattyPatty85's Top Rated Songs I think the production is catchy and fresh but I don't like so much how he sounds. If it was another rapper this would have been a banger, but for now it's only in rotation (I may get used to him)
