Vaig - Gotta Have a Dream
Artist: Vaig
Producer: Wisebeatz
Album: Theme Music To Life
Label: Executive Records
It’s probably a good thing that relatively few make good on their preschool-era ambitions, if only because a society made up predominantly of princesses, astronauts, Presidents, and athletes wouldn’t function very well (Personally, I wanted to be a rock star/Power Ranger/writer, but one out of three ain’t bad!). On the other hand, it’s important to preserve a little bit of that reach-for-the-stars enthusiasm as one grows older—as Glide emcee Vaig puts it on this new single (making its exclusive world premiere right here in the Booth!), you’ve Gotta Have a Dream. Dedicated to all those grinding in the 412 and beyond, this track finds the Pittsburgh rapper explaining just what it is that drives him ever onward in spite of the hardships and struggles. Wisebeatz‘s instrumental, sampled and Chipmunk-ized from Peter Brown’s Stargazer has a slightly chaotic feel, but its pure, orchestral bombast makes perfect sense alongside Vaig’s impassioned rhymes. This motivational cut will be music to the ears of all who still hold childhood dreams close to their hearts, and those listeners are sure to find plenty more Theme Music to Life on the rapper’s latest LP (due out this fall).

The Booth has been behind Vaig for years, so when he slid over his brand new single for us to premiere at the site, it was a no-brainer that we feature it. Dope record all around. Repeat worthy.

So, tayishere202, what do you think of this song? smh
I like Vaig's flow here, his mic is up too loud in my opinion, but for what its worth its a good intro into his world. "Get paid or get pain,...and if you fall don't look around to blame,just get back up on ya feet, and live to fight another day:" |

Wow! This and that Havoc song really outshined the rest of the Booth tonight. Vaig came with a lot of energy and some heartfelt lyrics. The production and sample were great. Easy banger.

"Personally, I wanted to be a rock star/POWER RANGER/writer, but one out of three ain’t bad!" ROFLMAO ....
Sandwiched in between his conscious raps and uplifting message are a few witty one-liners and plenty of thought-provoking lyrics ... No complaints! BANGER!!! |

412 STAND UP. I've been telling people for years that Pitt has talent. Vaig is impressive here.

I'm digging this, but I feel like the loop in the background is too loud and busy and makes the vocals hard to hear at times.
