The Redland - Dreamin'
Artist: The Redland
Producer: The Redland
Album: The Free Album
Label: Redland Ent. (Unsigned)
Are fame and fortune really all they’re cracked up to be? Beats me—having my byline plastered all over the Booth is about as close I’ve gotten to any kind of stardom. Here to offer a more informed opinion are Earv Legend and Kose of The Redland. On their newly-leaked mixtape cut Dreamin’, making its world premiere right here in the Booth, the Louisiana/Oklahoma-repping twosome scrape off the glittery veneer to reveal that the rich and famous are just as flawed as the rest of us. As on their first feature, You Say You Love Me, Earv and Kose back their thoughtful rhymes with a genre-fusing instrumental, this time pairing minor-key guitar arpeggios with driving percussion and synth ambiance. Unlike the rap stars they describe in this track, The Redland are about substance over flash, and their commitment to realness is sure to earn them shine in the Booth. If you like what you’re hearing, keep it locked to our front page for two more exclusive world premieres leading up to the September 29th release of the duo’s DJBooth.net-presented mixtape, The Free Album.

Like richard said, this track has some substance to it. The production and hook provide the right "dreamy" effect that it aims for. It is unusually dark for a song about "dreamin'" but for a specific purpose. The flow was a lil too predictable, but it worked wit the beat.

The production is a nice little relax deal. The voice is soothes its not over powering rap. Which is nice this late at night. Now I wouldnt put this as a club banger unless there was DJ AM behind the table but liet him rest in peace. I love the song I think it is very unique which is exactly what the game needs right now.

@PattyPatty is right on! The tempo of this song is what really got to me it's very chill but fast-paced/bouncy at the same time and Redland runs with the atmosphere created delivering well written verses fitting the theme of song.

The song has a nice flow to it. I like the “I keep dreaming part” because in this day and time that’s all we have to hold on 2. The song is so real and I’m feeling the lyrics to the fullest.
