Man, women can do a number on a guy. Every man has a beautiful memory of a time spent with a significant woman that’s cemented in their minds, but once that lady disappears from your life, those memories can quickly turn sad and lonely. The creative mastermind behind This Charming Mixtape, Theophilus London is more than familiar with such a situation, and uses it as the template for his new track, Humdrum Town. Coming off the Green Label Sound Exclusives series, the dark, reminiscent single shows how this Brooklyn rapper can absolutely saturate a track with creativity (he also produced the joint, by the way). The combination of the somber production and London’s bars has the ability to give even the listener a picture of a gray, gloomy, rainy image of love lost (and not forgotten). If you like this submission from the eclectic emcee, be sure to check out the mixtape and keep it locked to the Booth for more.

There are a select few artists who I have adopted as "I need to co-sign you every time you drop a new record" artists. Ladies and gentlemen, Theophilus London is one of these artists. As an emcee and producer, he is beyond talented. How many other artists would attempt to create a record like this? This is a genre bender and was done with precision.

Big fan!

I don't even know how to describe this track, or my feelings toward it. I think that makes me appreciate it more, so its in rotation. It's sort of poppy on the hook, and dancy with the percussion, but its def hip-hop when the beat drops and Theophilus does his thing. He spits wit cool wordplay, and his wierd style works for me.

This is one of those "I don't like it but I totally understand why other people do" situations, like Pumpkin Pie. Not a pumpkin pie fan, just a personal preference, but I completely understand why people love pumpkin pie. What I'm trying to say is, Theo London's the pumpkin pie of artists for me right now.

This joint is by far his most radio-ready, has a smoother, more accessible flow to it. The perfect blend of a groovy beat with wise lyrics. His breathy, predictably unpredictable flow against his undeniable blend of electro and hip-hop soul results in a BANGER!!!

I have not found a single track from TL that I haven't just loved. His sound is just... well it is hard to explain, but it gets me every time. I love it.

Dope track, I heard it on his Green Label page (MD) and came here looking for more material. I had seen his name before but didn't truly know anything about his music or influences. Seems interesting, I'll take that path & see where it leads me!
