Young Keno - Fast Life ft. Jim Jones
Artist: Young Keno
Featuring: Jim Jones
Producer: Rome
Album: This Is Not A Game
Label: Unsigned
LA’s Young Keno may be an indie emcee, but that doesn’t stop him from spending like there’s no tomorrow. On the new single off his upcoming debut album, he hooks up with the king of conspicuous consumption, Dipset’s Jim Jones, for a musical tribute to the Fast Life. With necks full of ice and pockets full of bills, Keno and Jones celebrate their prosperity in the most public way possible, gassing up their spruced-up, snow-white coupe and heading down to the club to pop a few bottles. Rome provides an appropriately swagger-laden soundtrack to the iced-out revelry, complete with handclap percussion and plenty of glossy synths. This paper-stacking single should be just the thing to build buzz for Keno’s debut album, This Is Not A Game, which is set to hit stores this summer.

This is actually not a bad song. I didn't know what to expect from an unknown artist and Jim Jones collaborating, but this has a tight beat. Young Keno is not bad and Jim Jones has a decent appearance. Lyrically it is nothing real special, but it is a pretty tight track.

The hook and production was decent. I never have heard anything from Keno, but hey, HE DOESN'T SUCK! WOW. I am surprised. He isn't the greatest, but dude has a decent cadence with a real dope flickiness. Jim Jones wasn't bad at all either. Hmmm....I've been pleasantly surprised with this one tonight. ROTATION. Maybe 3.5.

There is way too much synths at one time in this song..they need to organize it a little more. The beat just on the hook part sounds pretty dope but the production after that gets boring after while. Even with these bad things I cant lie this song has "swagger"!

This beat isn't mainstream enough nor street enough to get any sort of recognition imo. I agree w/ E-dub- it's too synthed out. The lyrics obviously lacked any creativity or originality, but its OK cuz his flow actually doesn't suck and the hook was kinda catchy.

I used to really be on the "Jim Jones isn't as bad as everyone says he is" bandwagon. But for some reason, ever since he did that awful verse on the "Lost (Remix)" I cannot help but be distracted by his vocals.
KENO did a great job on this... he coulda done it solo. |

Jones was pretty solid & Young Keno as well as the beat were very good. A good chance of getting some serious radio plays

Of what I have heard so far from Young Keno, I've liked. Jim Jones sometimes brings it and other times he doesn't.
