“Braggadocio” is one of hip-hop’s bywords; if they’re not bragging of their own skills on the mic, emcees aren’t doing much to up their publicity. No underground rapper has taken this more to heart than Alexandria, Virginia’s own Thad Reid, who has boldly stated with his new mixtape, No Beat Is Safe 2.7: The B-Sides, that “no beat is safe” from his skill. He validates this claims on a cut called Can’t Live Without You (Functional Addict 2). On the track, Reid waxes lyrical about his ladylove, who’s got him stuck on her affections. Though he tries to resist his feelings by resorting to player tactics, the honest emcee admits that he can’t live without her. Channeling old-school beats with vintage drum patterns is indie rap producer Shuko, who’s definitely on the right track with this new sound. Expect to hear much more of both Shuko and Thad Reid inside the Booth.

Don't know why your all hating. The beat is nice, and the flow is nice. I'm not really paying attention much to what he's rapping about but who cares.

I can't really get with the beat here. I like the chorus sample, its haunting. I'm also intregued to listen to the entire song. Not bad Thad.

The beat is nice and has a good bounce. Lyrically it isn't bad and the track is kinda fun. Decent track, not single worthy tho.

He looks horrible in that pic! Anyway the song isn't bad, but not my type at all. Good beat, good flow but I won't listen to it again! It's something different, for sure

Mmmm, different. I like it. His voice and style is nice and different than most of beats out there. It's very "refreshing" as Parker put it.
