TP - Gotta Work
Artist: TP
Featuring: King Mez , HaLo , Heather Victoria
Producer: Khrysis
Album: TP Is My Hero EP
Label: IWWMG/Jamla
Readers may not recognize Booth newcomer TP (unless you’re a big Tar Heels fan – he was #14) but if the North Carolina native has anything to say about it, it won’t be long before are hailing him as a hip-hop hero. Well aware you’ve Gotta Work to earn that kind of admiration, the Raleigh emcee assures listeners of his work ethic on this newly-leaked cut. Khrysis handles production duties, serving up an understated percussion groove supported with mellow piano chords as the emcee affirms his dedication to the hustle in a witty and allusive verse. Further proving that work and play – especially wordplay – are a natural combo, fellow First in Flight State natives King Mez and HaLo drop guest verses liberally seasoned with pop-referential punchlines, and singer Heather Victoria rounds out the lineup, tying the record together with some breezy chorus vocals. Does this laid-back but determined banger leave you craving more? Your wish will be granted March 22, when TP’s Booth-hosted TP Is My Hero EP hits our mixtape page for free streaming and download.

Repping for RALIEGH NC, my state! I was wary when I saw a 1 star rating, but this is great.

Carolina has been on fire the past 5-6 months and that continues with TP's first Booth feature. Mez and HaLo are always consistent and this is a welcome introduction to Ms. Victoria.

I can't hate on a former Tar Heel, even though they did beat my UW Huskies earlier today. Pretty simple beat, but it works to introduce his style and flow. Hopefully he can add on this good start.
