Thee Tom Hardy - One for the Money
Artist: Thee Tom Hardy
Featuring: Donnis
Producer: Eric G.
Album: The Hardy Boy Mystery Mixtape: Secret of the Green Magic
Label: Unsigned
Thee Tom Hardy‘s approach on the mic may be unconventional, but he shares at least one trait with your average emcee: the aspiration to make big bucks. As the N.C. native puts it on his latest mixtape leak, “I’m One for the Money”. Of course, the freestyle series alum expresses his affection for the Almighty Dollar in a more entertaining fashion than most – over Eric G‘s left-of-center, synth-sample-percussion instrumental, Hardy fully indulges his penchant for absurdist punchlines and polysyllabic rhyme: “Even dead people know Thomas is great, ‘cause me to dope flows is like rhombus to shapes.” (Wait… does that mean he is a dope flow? Paging “Rap Lines That Make No F**king Sense!”) Holding up the rear is ATL Brave Donnis, who takes his closing verse as an opportunity to express his frustration regarding the difficulty of getting by in America. Originally set to drop Oct. 9, Hardy’s Booth-sponsored Secret of the Green Magic mixtape has been pushed back to the 15th, but fans will be able to catch the rapper at DJBooth’s own AC3 showcase, going down this Friday at ATL’s Masquerade Music Center.

Outside of his DJBooth.net Freestyle, this is my favorite featured record from Hardy. His flow matches this production perfectly and Donnis plays off his counterpart nicely. With that 9th Wonder co-sign, its only a matter of time...

I'm not that big a fan of Hardy's previous material, but this track came together pretty well. Hardy had some pretty good punch lines and Donnis was surprisingly dope as well. Nice job.

I didn't know what to do with that beat at first, but after a minute I was completely sold. Add in some typically crazy punchlines from Hardy and I'm going to have this one on repeat all morning. Dope.

I'm feeling this quirky cut - the crazy abstract lyrics - the sparse minimal beat - can drop and spin on my head to this - oh wait - too old for that bulls&#*!! LOL
