Introduced to the Booth via reader-acclaimed motivational anthem Don’t Give Up, Y1 returns to our front page with another hustle-centric selection off his next street album. On Rich Man & the Pauper, the Baltimore buzzmaker chronicles constant struggle to ward off snakes in the grass. Joining him over beatsmith Krazie‘s string-led sampling of The O Jays’ Back Stabber, Jay Verze contributes guest bars. For more, check out Y1’s Finally OrigYna1 tape when it arrives on the ‘net August 14.

Very dope. . . Hiphop lacks great music now-a-days but this track definitely proves otherwise.

GRANDSON,
I have known YOU all YOUR life. I've seen you laugh,cry,angry,and,submissive. I have seen you @*#$! UP, I've seen you COME UP. Despite my long and hard efforts to get you to reconsider and make music your plan B, you never GAVE UP. For that I respect you most proud. In my era, all we could do is what worked to survive and pay bills and if you were lucky, you might have some pocket change to invest in to something you actually wanted to do. You stopped going to college to make this music dream reality and ive never saw u happier. DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY... BEACUSE AS LONG AS YOU ARE I AM! #Y1FORPREZ |

I've heard other artists use this song for sampling and I appreciated how the tempo was altered. It fit the whole scheme of rhymes dropped by both artists. I mos def dig it!
