The Seed - Machine
Producer: Adikt 1
Album: The Seed LP
Label: 310 Music
Typically, when underground rappers spit about punching and kicking their way through the competition, the martial-arts imagery is just a metaphor for their high-impact approach on the mic. Not so in the case of The Seed‘s latest effort. Making its world premiere here in the Booth, Machine was recorded as a tribute to celebrated MMA fighter Jesse Juarez, a close friend of the trio. Adikt 1 provides an appropriately high-impact instrumental backdrop, layering an intense organ/guitar/vocal sample over gritty percussion as crewmates Uptown Swuite and Kahlee slug it out on the mic, dropping expressionistic, free-associated verses peppered with an eclectic array of bone-crunching allusions: “The Argonaut, in the arena of thunder, slumber and lightning / Hulkamaniac strength in the coliseum is frightening.” It all adds up to an adrenaline-pumping cut that’ll have even the most pacifistic listeners seeing red… in fact, once I wrap this track review up, I think I’ma go outside and punch the first person I see. Just kidding, of course – or am I? In any case, those who like what they’re hearing can find Machine and much more on The Seed’s Booth-sponsored, self-titled LP, due out May 3.

I agree with PrIc3Le$$, I should definitely add this to my gym playlist. The beat is so hard, fortunately The Seed's lyrics play nicely with track so that even though its hard, its not completely hitting you over the head.

Great back story. A song with a quality back story is always more interesting to me. If this was indeed created to get you hyped before a match, a job well done. These guys are all quality.

Cool song. Great for a pump up tune, but lacks some depth. Still, really high energy, and the beat bangs.
