The Dean's List - Hollywood
Artist: The Dean's List
Producer: The Dean's List
Album: Generation X
Label: Unsigned
Hollywood may not be quite as central in the music game as it is in the film industry, but there’s something about the image of an aspiring actor or (usually) actress waiting tables and hoping for their big break that keeps rappers writing songs about that much-vaunted neighborhood. On the second single off their forthcoming full-length (follow-up to the non-featured YOUTH), The Dean’s List become the latest in a long line of acts to pay tribute to the glitz, glamor and temptations of Tinseltown in song. Here, Mendoza and Mik Beatz’ lush, absurdly catchy, synth-brass boardwork sets an upbeat mood as emcee Sonny Shotz paints a lyrical portrait of life as a fly young individual on the come-up, packing his bars with vivid images of days on the grind and revelry-filled nights. Singer Dani Ummel, the crew’s collaborator on Caveman, ties the record together with an appropriately anthemic hook. Does this ambition-drenched banger leave you craving more? Then be sure to cop The Dean’s List’s latest album, Generation X, when it hits store shelves and online retailers April 3.

This was a pretty cool track. Nice chorus and the lyrics were on-point. The beat feels like it's whisking you away to another place. Cool vibe.

This was alright. I'm a big fan of the Dean's List, so I was really expecting a lot. I think the only thing that could use improvement was the hook. Solid all around, though.
