Already heralded as one of the best producers in the Midwest, thanks to work with fellow Chicago icons Twista and Do or Die, Traxster is ready to take his hustle full circle in ‘08. In addition to running his own label, Traxster Inc., the versatile artist/business man has taken a direction similar to fellow Chi-Towner Kanye West and shifted from producing for rappers to rapping himself. On his first single, Body Language, Traxster proves this transition can be done smoothly as he adapts his favorite clients’ fast-paced flow. Proven hometown hook man Johnny P delivers (once again) with smooth vocals and Trax’ shows off his production work with a trademark hi-hat beat. For more bedroom bangers check out The Return of Gangsta Music, hitting stores and online retailers on April 8.
I am really feeling the beat. He sounds like Twista on this track. If he is going to rap like this all the time, I think the public will think he is a Twista copy-cat even though he worked with him before. The chorus is cool. I need a few more tracks before I pass judgment. This can go in rotation!
Z will LOVE it because it has the sound of his hometown...I love it too because I'm not too far from Chicago, and I've always enjoyed Traxster's beats as well, plus he raps fast like his clients here. On the real, Traxster needs to call up Twista to try to get back in the studio (Z, could you ask Traxster that when your inevitable interview with him comes?)
Traxster was ahead of his time. He was producing tracks like this back in the late 90's way before it became popular. Do or Die all them had the snap sound. I'm feelin' this.
