How can I put this…. I’m not saying I dislike the work of Jon Bon Jovi but, when I clicked “play” and found that the latest promo single from West Coast emcee (and exclusive freestyle series alumnus) Young De had nothing more than a lyrical theme in common with the rock vet’s 1990 hit, my ears threw a party. Of course, not involving Bon Jovi isn’t the only thing Blaze of Glory has going for it – far from it. FarHot‘s driving, guitar/sample/breakbeat instrumental is sure to grab listeners’ attention from the get-go, and De comes with insightful rhymes to match the instrumental’s laid-back yet soulfully determined vibe, pondering how he’ll be remembered after he passes on: “Will you remember me for… the weed that I smoked? The shows that I rocked? The b*ches that I f**ed? The money that I got?” While I, of course, don’t have any sure answers to those questions, one thing’s for certain: if the up-and-comer keeps turning out tunes of this caliber, he won’t be forgotten in the Booth. Blaze is just a promo single, but those craving more from the rising star should, as always, keep it locked.

After the first listen I came away only diggin the Gnarls Barkley-esque production work from FarHot. But, after a few repeat listens, I started to dig this one more and more.
De without a doubt has some on-the-mic chops; hopefully he can show some consistency (up to par with this offering) moving forward.

Excellent, excellent production from FarHot. In all honesty, the vocals don't match the beat on a skill level, but the final package is still pretty damn enjoyable.

Sorry, I just couldn't let this go unmentioned.
"Weed I smoked, shows that I rocked, bi**ches that I fu**ed, money I got...a voice like MLK." I'm sorry, what? I must have missed the MLK speech where he talked about smoking weed, fu**king bit**es and getting paper. I have absolutely nothing against any of those activities, go ahead and do your thing, just don't compare yourself to MLK afterwards.

This song is good to my ears. Young De's delivery and lines are what they are, but they hold the song together nicely. Rotation fa sho!

Production is top notch, the lyrics from this guy, not really.

LOVE rock samples...deep lyrical themes too.
However, De shouldn't think about death just yet-he's just beginning! |

Kind of has that play me again sound... but the lyrics were kind of whack. I'm not ready to push repeat so rotation status will have to wait.
