Will Roush - What I Gotta Do Dilla?
Artist: Will Roush
Producer: Jay Dee
Album: Know My Name (Vol. 1) Mixtape [Hosted by DJ Skee & Whookid]
Label: Who U Wit? Ent.
With his forthcoming mixtape, Will Roush simply seeks for the listening public to “Know My Name,” but a little familiarity with the 20-year-old up-and-comer’s unique story couldn’t hurt: for one thing, the Manhattan-to-Greenwich, Connecticut transplant’s passion for rapping helped him overcome Supraventricular Tachycardia, a potentially-lethal heart condition. Mixtape cut What I Gotta Do Dilla serves as further introduction: essentially, he’s a “white, Jewish kid” trying to find his identity in the game. Though his background may not be as much of an obstacle as he makes it out to be (after all, a couple white, Jewish punk rockers called the Beastie Boys managed to become hip-hop icons without sacrificing one iota of individuality), the conceit gives him license to show off his gruff lyrical confidence as he skewers the game, taking jabs at industry punchlines like Clay Aiken and Amy Winehouse—plus, it’s hard not to sound good over bass-bumping, funk-guitar production by the late Jay Dee. Want to know even more about Roush? Watch for his DJ Skee and Whookid-presented mixtape to drop this April.

The production is a little weird. Not really feeling the beat. I'm not really liking his delivery or his style. I'm done with it...

i also hear jabs at people, which make this song just a LITTLE MORE INTERESTING. |

I don't know. This song just sounds off. Weak production and his flow is just ok.

First of all, the production is really solid. What song are you listening to guys? The delivery is on point and his diction is terrific (unlike 80% of the artists who completely slur their words together and make no sense on the mic). Solid!

Enjoyable listen for sure. The lyrics were pretty hot, kind of humorous. I was vibing with this one up pretty high on the speakers, this will be played again.

Production is very solid, and as Z said, his diction is a hell of a lot better than what everyone else is bringing lately. I'll definitely play this one at least a couple more times.

I really feel this track, I think the production is solid and I do love the funk-guitar. I think dude has a great rapper's voice, he just has a strange flow. I do like his lyrics though, interested to see what else this dude can do...
