At the beginning of his new record, Whatcha Talkin Bout, Booth newcomer Stik Figa makes his musical lineage clear, spitting, “I’m the best rapper alive/ Fugee rap hasn’t died.”  In comparing himself to the Grammy award-winning rap group, the Kansas emcee has positioned himself to step into some very, very big shoes, but the record offers plenty of evidence Stik isn’t simply blowing smoke.  The quirky, reggae-flavored beat contributed by Greg Enemy echoes the distinctive way in which the group incorporated Caribbean influences into their instrumentals, and while the emcee’s verses are more self-aggrandizing than socially conscious, I could hear just a bit of Pras Michel in his flow.  Whether or not you think the comparison holds water, Whatcha Talkin Bout is a cut that can be enjoyed on its own merits, and should build some anticipation for the spring ‘09 release of his Babylon EP.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on January 26, 2009

The beat box feature is HOT (1:49 …wow!)!!! That idiophonic instrument during the chorus is exquisite! Good look on the heavy bass! Greg Enemy is mad talented!

Stik Figa’s flow makes you bob your head unconsciously: I’ll forgive him for the lack of conscious lyrics ;) Rappers who flow like him (nonstop, check 2nd verse) usually have something to say so I’m lookin forward for more!

LOL @ “speak in Portuguese… incredibly difficult language” It’s the first time my official language is mentioned at Djbooth! :D thanx Stik!

"The rest of you are jester's I promise I wont laugh" What a great line. This beat is off the hook. Pretty good lyrical ability.

Wow, this is good hip hop. Flows well, the beat is very good. The beat isnt goofy or mainstream. I like it when rappers make their beat around their lyrics and not the other way around.Never heard of Stik, ill be sure to check on djbooth for more of him.
