Trademark Skydiver & Young Roddy - Pilots
Artist: Trademark Skydiver & Young Roddy
Producer: Cookin Soul
Album: Jet Life to the Next Life
Label: Jets International
As I’ve remarked many times before, today’s hip-hop game has become a veritable air show, with countless emcees taking the connection between flight and the effects of killer weed as an excuse to, well, get high while they get high (I don’t need to tell y’all that actually flying a plane under the influence is a bad idea, do I?). The latest act to take a few hits of quality kush and let their rhymes take wing, Fly Society-affiliated Booth newcomers Trademark Skydiver & Young Roddy indulge in a little blunted jet-setting on newly-reworked cut Pilots. While you’d think that smoke in the cockpit would impair visibility, the New Orleans emcee and his Kenner-repping copilot handle themselves like pros, lacing Cookin Soul‘s appropriately hazy string/brass samples with deadpan rhymes on the topics of women, currency and – of course – the herb. Whether or not you partake, this tag-team’s aerial gymnastics make for an eminently enjoyable ride. Like what you’re hearing? Trademark & Roddy’s Jet Life to the Next Life mixtape, sponsored by our friends at 2DopeBoyz.com, has yet to receive a drop date, but you’ll be the first to know when a flight schedule’s been established.

Both Skydiver & Young are basically overpowered by the production, which quickly gets repetitive. Decent beat though.

The guys have been carried - to this point - by Curren$y and the weight his name holds in the rap community. Is "Pilots" a song that helps them lift off on their own? Not sure about that one, but I am interested to see how far they fly solo.

There's nothing very attention getting about the song. Beat is ok and the lyrics just kind of drag along

@DJ Z. Trade and Roddy may not have a big of a buzz like Spitta has but they definitely have their own following. Besides, They're not even wack! I see alot of rap crews where the leader is the only dude shining but all together and seperate they have a great fan base especially for just being on the mixtape circuit. I feel like you have had to be a fan of the G-Series and previous projects to really see how dope Trade ad Roddy is.
