Countless emcees have looked to rap as a way to address personal issues that would normally be confined to therapy sessions and support groups – substance abuse being a prime example. But what do you do when art and addiction become so intimately intertwined as to be inseparable? On Booth debut/current single Music and Liquor, DMV native Wax struggles to come to grips with that very issue. Backed with the dreamy, haunting sampled boardwork of EOM, the artist takes a long, hard look in the mirror, admitting that he as a problem with alcohol but despairing of his inability to follow through on his plans to kick the habit. Of course, it doesn’t help that his pen game’s come to depend on a steady supply of liquor: “Addictive personality – ironically, I write my realest sh*t when I escape from reality.” While the lack of easy answers makes this joint a bittersweet listen, I have no doubt that Wax’s lyrical honesty will earn him respect from Booth readers. For more introspective jams, fans can check out the rapper’s Liquid Courage street album, available now online.

 A super solid first introduction to Wax. I am not sure if I am more of a fan of Wax over this EOM beat or EOM's beat with Wax over the top. Prolly a combination of both; regardless, this should pave the way for future features in the Booth.

I absolutely love this song. One of my favorites. I've been watching Wax on YouTube for a long time and knew he just needed the right person to see him This guy is amazing and this is the best song to debut him on the Booth. Congrats Wax.

Damn - I didn't really know what to expect when I pressed play on this one, I can't say I was familiar with Wax before this, but I couldn't be more impressed. The production's airtight, and his lyricism and honesty are both more than on point.
I'm down for more Wax anytime.
