In hip-hop’s early days, many emcees saw success by teaming up with a DJ/producer. Hoping to bring back that tradition, rapper Sean Boog and producer Khrysis (who is signed to Little Brother’s Hall of Justus Music Group) have joined forces to form The Away Team. After releasing their debut, Training Day, on iTunes this past October, the duo has remained hungry in their pursuit of success as a duo. On their current single, Boog explains that with every verse he drops, he gives the listener Sum of Me. To his credit, Khrysis’ provides a church organ production that emphasizes the serious, deep mood of the record. Topped off with a verse from Dilated Peoples emcee Evidence, Sum of Me proves why alliances are so important in hip hop.
Boston is in the house. The AWAY TEAM didn't do so hot tonight (pun intended). A mellow beat with smooth delivery. Not a bad track to listen to on a late night cruise.
Paul Piss gets MVP wtf? Anyway this is cool. Evidence is my dude, he hasn't the gotten recognition he deserves like Ray Allen!! Anyway this beat is soulful. I like it. 3 stars
Khrysis's production has a nice flow to it. I think it's missing a little something though, within the drum kit. I like how it's flipped though. The vocals was decent too, but something like a certain passion was missing
im surprised by this lukewarm response to this track. Its tight - some quality hip hop right here. Ev and Boog come tight and Krysis is a monster on the beat. Show some love!
I agree Macli! The combination of their individual skills is great. No, they are not a Fresh Prince/DJ Jazzy Jeff or Gangstarr... BUT... they are young, talented and skillful. I look forward to another joint effort from The Away Team.
IM SO GLAD DA CELTICS WON:)- i called it! anyway, DIS song iz not one of my favs @ all- cuz it aint my type!!!- but it deservez a 2 cuz itz just above garbage.
