Trackademicks ft. Phonte - Fool on the Hill

Trackademicks - Fool on the Hill

Featuring: Phonte

Producer: Trackademicks

Album: State of the Arts

Label: HNRL/Fool's Gold

Working one’s way up from the bottom of the music game is never a stress-free process but, as in just about anything, the wrong attitude can make things much harder than they truly are. Where many up-and-comers chase impatiently after cash and fame, Bay Area rapper/producer Trackademicks stays as calm and unruffled as the Beatles’ Fool on the Hill, confident that everything will come in due time. While the lyrical theme is clearly reminiscent of the Fab Four’s classic cut, Track looks elsewhere for production inspiration, cooking up a dreamy, headphone-ready synth backdrop for his musings on life, art, and the nature of success. Little Brother alumnus Phonte handles guest duties, playing the role of mentor as he spits bars laced with solid advice: “Might be rewarded for beefin’, but you don’t want beef, n*gga eat a parsnip…” As lyrically astute as it is vibe-out-able, this spacey banger is set for inclusion on Trackademicks’ State of the Arts LP, which currently lacks a release date – guess you’ll just have to keep it locked for the latest!

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11639	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Lots of features tonight from the emcee/producer dual threat. If we were Twitter, that would be a trending topic haha. Trackademicks landed on our pages thanks to his production skills (the dreamy synths are very relaxing), not his emcee skills. They are not bad (at all), but Phonte laps him on the rapping tip. Practice makes perfect. Follow @DJBooth

Nathan S. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 2476	Rating: Nathan S.'s Top Rated Songs I'm still laughing over that "parsnip" line from Phonte. On a larger level, I don't want to do the cliched "producer who can't rap as well" thing, but this beat is excellent, but Track's rap skills are just so-so. There's something about his delivery that just doesn't flow. Still, one the whole a purely quality joint, I'm definitely down for more.

Kyle William DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 103	Rating: Kyle William's Top Rated Songs Track's boardwork outshines his mic skills (obvious), but this beat f*ckin bangs. And Phonte rips this enough to have me put up 4 stars.
