U-N-I - Reach For The Sky ft. Tabi Bonney & Haziq Ali
Artist: U-N-I
Featuring: tabi Bonney
Producer: Beatnick & K-Salaam
Album: Beatnick & K-Salaam: Where The Streets Have No Name
Label: Unsigned
On the latest leak off K-Salaam & Beatnick‘s Where the Streets Have No Name, Thurzday and Y.O. of Booth-beloved duo U-N-I offer a few sage words of advice to all the aspiring emcees out there (and, really, anyone with big ambitions): “Reach For The Sky” Though the twosome are in fighting form (Thurzday’s duck-related puns are a highlight), the record’s best moments come courtesy of two D.C. up-and-comers—on the back end, Haziq Ali and tabi Bonney step up to the mic for a little old-school line-trading, and the contrast between the former’s deep-voiced croak and the latter’s higher-pitched flow, along with a little clever writing, add up to a standout verse brimming with deadpan braggadocio. Complete with some densely-layered boardwork and spacey vocal effects from the Minneapolis production duo, FTS (along with previous features I’m Fine, In Jamaica, and My Zone) is sure to have many listeners reaching for K-Salaam & Beatnick’s star-studded compilation album, out now.

If this skater/be yourself style of hip hop keeps up, UNI will be on the come up, trust me. They bring something different to the table with every track, which always keeps me looking for more. Still gotta go with 'Hollywood Hiatus' as their best work, but this ain't bad.

What do you get when you throw a KS&B beat over to a talented duo like UNI and underrated DC emcees like Tabi and Haziq? Perfect headphone music. Coast to coast collaborations rarely work... this does the trick.

The was an all around good song. The production was tight and U-N-I sounded good, as did the guest features. Rotation.

Great production from this awesome production duo, although not their best. U-N-I is impressive and nice as usual. I do like the trade-off verse by the 2 features. That old-school trick kinda makes the verse more interesting to listen to, not that they wouldn't be interesting to hear spit on their own. Solid track, I especially like the guitar plucking toward the end.

It is a well-done track on everyone's part... but the prod stands out the most to me...

Well it's U-N-I so it is automatically banger status. K-Salaam and beatnick are such good producers, i could name a list of tracks which are banger's and which are made by them

Another pretty song, but which didn't convince me. I like the beat and the verses, but damn the hook is so boring! I'd throw it in rotation maybe 2-3 times
