The Regiment - Old School Vibe
Artist: The Regiment
Producer: Apollo Brown
Album: A New Beginning
Label: Soul Tools Ent.
Now more than ever, underground rappers are attempting to recapture that Old School Vibe, in hopes that bringing back the classic sound and lyrical focus of hip-hop’s early days will help usher in a new musical renaissance. That pursuit is the subject of Detroit Christian rap crew The Regiment‘s first Booth feature, but new-schoolers shouldn’t let that scare them off—this record has a retro feel, but its sound is certifiably fresh, thanks in large part to Apollo Brown‘s nostalgically catchy guitar-sampling groove. On the lyrical tip, emcees OSI and IseQold deliver a blend of Christian values and musical purism that might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but is sure to strike a chord with Booth readers disenchanted with hip-hop’s current fixation on cash and flash. Whether you’re nodding your head to the message or to the beat, though, you’d do well to pick up a copy of the crew’s latest LP, A New Beginning (out today).

The vibe on this track is def Old School, but it sounds fresh. The production is nice and laid back, and the lyricism on the verses is sick. The Regiment lay it down on this track, for real. I'll be lookin into more of their music...

Nothing short of a banger here. This is true underground rap. I love that old-school feel and the lyrics are tight.

I don't like old school, so I almost didn't even listen to this...would hve been big mistake. This is very fresh. Doesn't get me nearly into the mood for more old-school. But still a banger.

This song is pretty good, but it just started losing my attention after a while ... the lyrics make the song worth listening to ... In-Rotation

We Need More Tracks Like This. But the only reason I even clicked on this one was because of the song title "Old School Vibe." I knew I would love it and I'm glad I did click on this track because it's exactly the style that I love. This is a great song, too bad it won't get any radio play though.

Being a Producer myself, i FFFF with this beat hard. I love the filtered sample. the vocal cut in the sample, the overall feel. Bananas, this is my favorite type of beat.
