Young Duece - The Growth

Producer: Nu Theory

Album: Back From the Future

Label: Unsigned

First things first. Yes, Young Duece is not one but two people and, no, that isn’t a misspelling—it’s “Duece,” not “Deuce.” Those preliminary points aside, Booth debut The Growth should tell you all you need to know about Previn “PJ” Ricks and George “Kidd Flow” Clark, III. Making its world premiere right here on our front page, The Growth finds the Ohio rapper/producers offering their soon-to-be-fans in the Booth a little insight into what makes them tick. Over Nu Theory‘s laid-back sample work, drawn from funk group Bloodstone’s oft-flipped Go on and Cry, the duo enlighten us as to their priorities, explaining that, if it comes down to fame versus fortune, they’ll choose the latter any day of the week. It’s not a matter of copping fly sh*t, but rather of being justly reimbursed for the blood, sweat and tears they’ve poured into their hustle: “I ain’t tryin’ to stunt, just tryin’ to play a big role / Tryin’a be rewarded for extraordinary sh*t, yo… Don’t wanna make it rain but rather lift umbrellas, G / I work hard for my celery.” Want to support Young Duece’s hustle, and hear some dope music in the process? You’ll get your chance this March, when their Back From the Future mixtape arrives on the ‘net.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on January 23, 2012

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11677	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs We've heard this sample flipped many times before (see Richard's insight above), but its whats YD does with it on the mic that makes this rendition enjoyable. Nothing groundbreaking creatively, just a dope hip hop record. Looking forward to hearing what is next for these two. Follow @DJBooth

Lucas G. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 701	Rating: Lucas G.'s Top Rated Songs I really like this. Nu does an awesome job behind the boards. I love how smooth and jazzy the beat is. It really sounds good behind the vocals and compliments them well. Young Duece sounds very confident and comfortable behind the mic. I'm looking forward to hearing more from them.

Karan Gupte DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 8863	Rating: Karan Gupte's Top Rated Songs I like the jazz flavour done in a hip hop way. It would have? been so easy to f**k this up but their flows just bring the beat up.
