Spitting dope rhymes is a skill that takes many long, arduous hours of practice but, once you’ve learned the art, nothing beats the feeling you got when you “open up [your] mouth and let the words flow.” Well, OK, as a man of sub-par mic skills I can only assume that to be the case. For a better-informed opinion, we turn to Booth newcomer Versis, who explains just how great it is to bust out a dope rhyme whenever he feels The Need on his latest single. A lightly-jazzy, sampled instrumental by the aptly (if redundantly) named Beat Maker Beat serves as springboard for the Pasadena native’s’ agile, self-assured bars. If his M.O. wasn’t readily apparent from his retro-informed rhyme style, he makes his lineage explicit on the middle verse. “A bronze medal boy with a Golden Era vibe, like INI, De La [crossed with] Village and the Tribe” Those are – lemme pull out my calculator…– 34 very large shoes to fill. Has this up-and-comer got what it takes to follow in their footsteps? Those leaning towards the affirmative can find plenty more where this came from on Versis’ iLLCANDESCENT, out now.

His flow is very reminiscent of the early 90s, I don't know if he needs to rap over my beats but his flow is very staccato don't know if it's his style or hesitation. It's not a bad track, would like to hear more.

Nice introductory feature from Versis. Nothing that is going to blow you away as a listener, but intriguing to the point you'd check for his stuff if you came across it in the future.

What can I say that the other "boothheads" haven't already said. This is a quality song, nice smooth vibe and Versis' flow fits the song perfectly. It's nothing that will blow you away, but it's a solid track.
