Threatz - '90 'Til Infinity
Artist: Threatz
Producer: A-Plus
Album: Unreleased
Label: Four Five Records
If you’re looking for ‘smooth,’ you can’t go wrong with Threatz—in the member reviews of the Bronx up-and-comer’s first solo feature, Flow, that adjective popped up just shy of a dozen times (counting “smoov” and “s-m-o-o-o-t-h”), and, if my calculations are correct, this unreleased cut should elicit at least that many. On ‘90 ‘Til Infinity, the emcee takes listeners on a trip down Memory Lane, detailing his love for last decade’s hip-hop classics and his sky-high ambitions for the future over an impossibly chill blend of synth ambiance and jazzy samples. The combined effect of A-Plus’ instrumental and the emcee’s winding flow is so relaxing that those attempting to follow Threatz’ lyrical thread through the track’s full running time might find themselves zoning out a few minutes in, but that’s definitely not a bad thing—in fact, the dreamy vibe makes for a track that only grows more appealing over time, and the rapper’s poetic, nostalgia-drenched rhymes impress more with each repeat spin. In a word, it’s smooth. If you’re digging this chilled-out cut, keep it locked to the Booth in the coming months; Threatz’ contribution to our exclusive freestyle series is set to premiere later this summer.

If you ignore the calender - and the fact that DJBooth.net is still a relative baby in the game - you might convince yourself that while you listen to this record it is in fact '92. A throwback? Yes!
And to prove why its valuable to read the humorous, informative and entertaining feature blurbs by our writers, I will go out on a limb and deem this one "smooth."

I was introduced to ThreatZ' music through hearing Treazon's music.
Dude is pretty good. I liked this joint. I like Kanye and Consequence's remake "'03 To Infinity" joint they did to. |

Hey!, I was born in '92 as well lool. July 16th is the day I came into the world, When growing up I wasnt really into much rap or anything, But I like to think as i've grown from a music listener to a music enthusiast ever since I found this site back on my Freshmen year '07 trying to find music to listen to during class lol. Ahh, the memories..
He worked with the beat well, Im not a big fan in the first place, but props for getting his music out there, This is a very laid back track, and I should be clicking the play button a couple more times. |

OH man you guys were born in '92 wow. that's one year before this beat was originally used on a track called '93 til Infinity by Souls Of Mischief. Check your hip hop history and maybe learn where the music came from instead of listing to this ripped off crap. This song is more proof that hip hop is DEAD. cant even come up with a new beat, but from reading the description you would think this guy is a f-ing genuis producer. Too bad THIS BEAT IS OVER 16 YEARS OLD, which also happens to be the age of anyone who visits this site.

Was this production or aspects of it used for the Kidz in the Hall's '06 til? That sound effect is reminiscent of it.
ThreatZ does a great job on the mic as a poet and a story teller, and the production sets that up well for him. |

Not familiar with the original, so its a fresh track for me and quite an awesome one.
The beat is relatively simple, but I have to admit that I liked it and ThreatZ rips sh*t as an underground rapper without anything to lose should. |

Turmanator89, are you drinking?
COME ON NOW! First of all, if you were as smart as you claim to be, you'd understand that ThreatZ did this as a homage track. People do it all the time, just like how Kanye and Consequence did. Just like I did a remix over Biggie's original "Juicy" beat. Just like B.O.B over "Bonita Applebum" for 2009. IT'S CALLED HOMAGE! HIP HOP HOMAGE. Now show some respect to a young cat like ThreatZ who's even up on his hip hop history to know the classic status of the original joint and to do his own version in honor of Souls Of Mischief. Alright, carry on peoples! |

I want to thank everybody who peeped the track and gave their honest opinion and shouts to Z for posting me up I thank you my good friend. Watch out for my exclusive next month. But, I would like to say do not judge me simply off of this track this is just something I felt needed to be put out and addressed as an artist. Dislike all you want but the least I ask is give respect where respect is due. This is far from what I'm really capable of. But i'll let my music do the taking in future terms. Thank you to all the honest folks though this is in no way directed towards ya'll.
peace and one love. |

@Turmanator89 - Why is someone commenting on this song, who was born in the early 90's, a "wow"?? Are 17, 18 and 19 year-olds not old enough to listen to and appreciate hip hop? C'mon now.

@Turmanator89 - the funny thing is I felt the same way. This is one of those "don't go there" tracks. The original was and still is PERFECT. Now, on to the song itself. Flow was aiight,but when you take a track like this on you've gotta come with something equal too or more spesh than the original. "HOMAGE" or not, this was just OK. No disrespect Threatz. I'll keep an eye out though for you on anything else you do. To everyone else who has to make other peoples opinions their bidnizz... Cool out, I was born in '82 and these tracks have sentimental value behind our love for them. For ANY artist to pick it up and re-do them is always a tough one for us. I didn't even like Ye's version either. So like I said, Either it's equal to or even better than the last cut otherwise it's just sub-par.
Stay on the grind though Threatz, we always need the criticism huh? Makes us who we are... |

Check this Turm, I agree but at the same time I have to say the booth has a variety of age groups commenting on here. I happen to be 24 and do remember this classic from when I was a kid, cause it was one of my favorite songs. I remember watching In living color when this was debuted at the end of the show: nodding my head like a mf when they performed it. Threatz didn't take away from that moment of memory so for that I give him a
