Folkz - I Am Pusha [Premiere]
Artist: Folkz
Producer: Benny Rome (of Drum Majors ATL)
Album: Unreleased
Label: NU Revolution Ent. LLC./Topp Dogg Hill
Now that Wale‘s achieved household-name status (in hip-hop households, anyway), I think Washington, D.C.‘s place on the musical map has been pretty well secured – regardless, it’s good to know that recent Booth fave Whitefolkz is out there, making damn sure it stays there. Unreleased track I Am Pusha, making its world premiere at this very site, finds the man who set the Booth on Fire back in June doing the District of Columbia proud. Benny Rome of Drum Majors ATL handles production duties, flipping a guitar-driven sample from classic-rock group Steppenwolf’s Pusher into a mellow backdrop for the emcee’s “cocaine, X and bud”-addled (or should that be “-enhanced”?) blend of loopy braggadocio, drug talk and hometown pride. While this track isn’t set for inclusion on any forthcoming project, Whitefolkz has a new mixtape, Year of the Dogg, scheduled to drop ”soon” Keep your browser locked to the net’s premier hip-hop destination – that is, DJBooth.net – for all the latest news and tunes.

I wasn't impressed by the vocals on this at all. It was just ok, and I was also not really feelin the effect on the vocals. The production was interesting though, nice blend.

I'm loving the sample, there's nothing like a classic rock/hip-hop beat. As for Whitefolkz, this is a decent performance from him compared to what he's capable of. I prefer him on his lyrical shit - like J.O.B. and Waiting Line - much more than this quasi-swag flow, and it looks like everyone else does too.
How exactly does one have jet lag like a whore? Are whores notorious for their jet lag? I'd be under the impression that whores don't really take a lot of flights, especially ones across multiple time zones. (I kid, I kid.)

This isn't Folkz best work, which explains why its unreleased material, but its also not bad at all. Its a throwaway record, which could have been much better with a few tweaks here and there.
@KaydaLuz - We respect the opinions of everyone here at the Booth, but giving a record a "1" rating and saying its because their old stuff is better doesn't exactly help anyone (most importantly, the artist).

This track surprised the hell out of me. It was definately not typical Whitefolkz....but I think I see what he's doing. This is a really nice blend of hip hop and rock, that few artists dare to try, and even less pull off. While this may not be a "club banger", he sounds comfortable and natural. I'd like to hear more like this from him. Different is good. No need for the same ole same old artists that I hear featured on this site all the time. Folkz is a good change.
@Nathan S. "like a whore" is a colloquial out here in the DMV. We all know what he means. |
