There are rappers who just so happen to rhyme over great music. Then there are great musicians who just so happen to rap. It’s rare to find an artist who can do both, but with a record like Here, up-and-coming emcee Voli sure as hell puts himself in contention for placement in that category. Producing the beat himself (apart from the guitars, for which he brought in Gadivia), Here expertly blends various genres while still maintaining its hip-hop core. Speaking of which, the newcomer from Jersey (a DJBooth Freestyle series alum) mixes his production perfectly with the rest of the song’s elements, including the chorus and guitars. But ironically, the strength of the beat may have just overshadowed Voli’s rapping, pushing his solid flow and rhymes about the importance of staying true to your roots into the background. After dropping previous efforts Stress and Free, the producer/rapper who has worked with J. Cole and Elite is gearing up to release his upcoming, as-yet untitled EP. You know the DJBooth will keep you in the loop with new info as it becomes available.

Short and sweet Sunday feedback: Add Voli to a growing list of the most consistent, unsigned, young emcees in the game (i.e. K. Sparks, Yonas, Emilio Rojas). And he produced it! How bout them apples.

This is another great reocrd from Voli. His last records was great and this just adds to his resume. And this is a hard, high energy song. And im really feeling that from him. Maybe just the mode im in today..... Anyway, i really like the production from himself. Its very nice, and brings everything else together nicely. Also, i really like Voli's verses in this. They are very stong, deep and thoughtful. "Here" is a overall good song. A banger for me.
