XV - Squarian Anthem
Artist: XV
Producer: Odd Couple
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Square Bound Music/Warner Bros.
Put your right hand over your heart, Booth readers; it’s time for the Squarian Anthem. With the kickoff of his Midwest State of Mind Tour less than two weeks away, spacefaring emcee XV has dropped off a new promo single dedicated to the denizens of his fictional home planet. Whereas the Kansas City resident usually keeps it light and good-humored, this joint finds him in uncommonly aggressive form, staking his claim on the game and annihilating the competition over beat crew Odd Couple‘s jittery, sampled beat (featuring my second-favorite obscure percussion instrument, the cuíca). As always, though, he keeps it witty and allusive, calling his rivals, “root beer—all Barq” and boasting, “I’m Spike Lee meets Shock G meets Rauschenberg meets Mozart.” Booth newcomer Sez Batters assists on the guest tip, chronicling his own quest for hip-hop eminence on the back end. Fans in the Midwest can click here to peep Vizzy’s tour itinerary, and Squarians everywhere can keep their browsers locked to the DJBooth for everything Vizzy in the weeks and months ahead, including the latest on his forthcoming, currently-untitled EP.

Vizzy sounds angry. I like him happy go lucky, not angry. Still on point, though. Nothing different there.

I'm not feeling the chorus on this track. I think the flows are pretty average on here too. Just OK for me.

Vizzy is the realest in the game. Simply put. This is not his best song, yet it still annihilates. Sez got off too. Looking forward to seeing the show at the Granada

Love me some XV, but was expecting a lot more from him on this track. Especially after turning it up in his past few releases
