The Next ft. Smoke DZA - Put You On The Game

The Next - Put You On The Game

Featuring: Smoke DZA

Producer: Taylormade Sounds

Album: Dusk Till Dawn

Label: Unsigned

Fresh off hitting a home run in the Booth with the politically-charged This American Life, The Next shift their focus from the socioeconomic landscape to the hip-hop game on their follow-up single. Put You on the Game finds Taylormade Sounds crafting a shuffling synth-string instrumental to back crewmate (and fellow member of Big Apple collective Dujeous) Mojo the Cinematic as he does just as the title says, filling neophytes in on the what lies beneath rap’s glossy exterior. Once Mojo’s finished airing out his gripes with the rest of the industry (“Let me list my pet peeves: when the honey’s fake, when the money’s late and when emcees wanna test me.”), Cinematic Music signee (and freestyle alum) Smoke DZA grabs the mic to skewer Internet thugs in an irreverent guest verse: “Why don’t you bang the tune since you so angry dude / N*ggas blogging like that’s the gangster thing to do / All the frontin’ in the camera, sh*t is horrible / ‘cause when the camera’s off, n*ggas goin’ back to normal.” Digging it? You’ll be able to purchase your very own copy of PYotG on Tuesday, when the record hits iTunes—or hold off till December, when it drops as part of Dujeous’ From Dusk Till Dawn LP.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11639	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I enjoyed "This American Life" more, but without a comparison in mind "Put You On The Game" is also solid. If I am not mistaken, Game had a super song that shares the same title - random, I know. The Next are crafting quality hip hop records. Follow @DJBooth
