The Away Team - Set It Off
Artist: The Away Team
Featuring: Talib Kweli , Rapsody
Producer: Khrysis
Album: Scars & Stripes
Label: Jamla/IWWMG/Duck Down Music
In theory The Away Team, or as they’re known individually Sean Boog the emcee and Khrysis the producer, are already Unforgettable, but just in case you missed the duo’s previous features, or contracted a sudden case of amnesia, I think we’ve got something for you that will cement their music in your synapses. More specifically, the Team, Talib Kweli and Rapsody are ready to Set It Off like Queen Latifah. Behind the boards Khrysis puts together a skittering beat that shakes lightly and bounces along on a sharp but mellow guitar line. From there Kweli sets off the lyrical explorations (pun intended) with the kind of syllable packed flow we’ve come to expect, followed closely by a tight 16 from the seemingly unshakable Rapsody and a closing effort from Boog that more than holds its own next to his compatriots rhymes. In other words, there’s no way you’re forgetting The Away Team after this. For more be sure to cop the duo’s upcoming album Scars & Stripes, due out on October 11 through Jamla/IWWMG/Duck Down Music.

In case you still needed a reason to not circle October 11 on your calender... "Set It Off" should do the trick.

What a lineup on this track. Everybody killed it. Rapsody is so consistent, I've yet to hear a track she doesn't kill. The Away Team cranks out quality tunes on their own, and when you add two exceptional emcees, it only gets better.
