Torae - What's Love
Artist: Torae
Featuring: Pharoahe Monch
Producer: Praise
Album: Admission of Guilt
Label: Internal Affairs Ent.
Keeping it real and staying true to your vision may be fulfilling, but warm, fuzzy feelings aren’t going to put food on your family’s table. Well-acquainted with the conflict that arises when art and commerce collide, Torae weighs the incomparable feeling of creating quality music against the demands of the marketplace on mixtape lead single What’s Love. Over Praise‘s Chipmunk-soul production, the B.K. native rails against the “politics, kickbacks, favoritism [and] mishaps,” that prevent talented artists from rising to the top of the industry. Queens vet Pharoahe Monch urges the headliner to stick to his guns on the back, asking, “What’s bein’ on top with no options?” Featuring guest appearances by Bun B., Uncle Murda, Skyzoo, Torch of Triple C’s and The Kid Daytona, Torae’s Admission of Guilt street album is scheduled to his The DJBooth March 13, for free streaming and download.

Great track. There's soul in the instrumental and the verses do nothing to detract from it.

Anyone who makes fun of LeBron's hairline is the man. Thus, Torae is the man.

Torae always comes correct, and Pharoahe Monch is, as usual, on a different level. Production is nice.

Great beat, and I'm a big fan of Pharoahe Monch. Torae's 1st verse isn't that strong, his 2nd verse is much better. Monch destroy's this beat with the 3rd verse...I absolutely LOVE the way he stresses each letter in the word love to his verse....unbelievable. 3.5 stars, mostly due to the Pharoahe.
