Trek Life - Ready to Live
Artist: Trek Life
Producer: Oddisee
Album: Everything Changes Nothing
Label: Mello Music Group
Is it just me, or is there a deep, philosophical vibe in the Booth today? On Big K.R.I.T.‘s If I Should Die, the Mississippi native explained that, though he’s got plenty more to do, he’s secure enough in his faith to die happy whenever the Lord decides to take him. Ready to Live, the latest offering from Trek Life finds the West Coast up-and-comer who brought us As the World Turns tackling the same lyrical ground from a slightly different vantage point. Backed by the unique piano-synth-string production of DMV-based rapper/beatsmith Oddisee, the emcee offers his own thoughts on life, the universe and everything. In addition to expressing his gratitude for the people (his baby girl) and things (new kicks, summer breezes) that make every day better than the last, he emphasizes the importance of planting seeds for the future. Ultimately, he concludes that “...life is exactly what you make it.” Wise words – if you find yourself nodding along in agreement (or to the beat), you’re sure to find more to your liking on Trek Life’s Everything Changed Nothing LP, out now online.

Each Trek Life feature we run I like the emcee more and more. This is highly enjoyable, both from a vocal and production stand point. The hook was average, but it doesn't weight down the record at all.

Richard was right in the intro, there's a lot of deep cuts in the Booth today, and I'm loving the mental gymnastics. This is that new west coast, props to Trek for making that real, real hip-hop.

for me, this is one of my favorite Trek cuts, it's a fit for the summer. And as a West Coast statement on where Hiphop is today, compared with "Ready to Die", this is a great step for the culture as a whole in my eyes.
Trek is def an emcee who you need to give time to grow on you, but dude holds his own. He always manages to get one line in that sticks for me: "Addicted to good times, but thankful for bad ones/ Because I really never knew good til I had none" Shout to DJ Booth for holding it down! |
