Mike Dreams - Arrows for Eros [DJBooth.net Premiere]
Artist: Mike Dreams
Producer: SoulChef
Album: Counting Sheep Series (Week 8)
Label: MUSIC2DREAM2
If you attended Sunday School classes as a child, you’re likely aware that the Ancient Greeks had quite a few words for the concept we simply refer to as “love,” the most-discussed among them being agape (all-encompassing love), philos (platonic love), and eros (romantic love, also the Greek name for Cupid). Though the woman who taught Young Son this lesson has fallen victim to cancer, the emcee carries her words with him to this day, and has dedicated installment #8 of his Booth-exclusive Counting Sheep series to her memory. On Arrows for Eros, the Minneapolis rapper suggests that, rather than waiting around to be struck by a divine projectile, today’s youth should concentrate on living right, and keep faith that fate will bring them together with their soulmates when the time is right. Hannah’s pun-filled verses strike straight to the heart of the matter, and SoulChef‘s dreamy, saxophone-laced instrumental is the perfect accompaniment to his philosophical musings. Watch for more exclusive records each Tuesday leading up to the June release of Dreamer’s Poetry, and stay tuned for the emcee’s Booth-sponsored Counting Sheep mixtape, due out June 12th.

This came SO CLOSE to unseating "My Bus Ride Home" as my favorite record in Young Son's series with us. Everything about this is enjoyable.
If you don't like it, I suspect you might either a) be a clubhead, b) not have an understanding of fundamentalist hip hop, or c) be in need of new computer speakers. Sidebar: I am prepared for lots of sh*t talking in this thread. Let's have fun. Thanks, MH!

Hey Z...if I don't like the production, does that make me a clubhead? :)
Naw, really though, I like everything but the production. It's too elevator-ish. Other than that, flame. Still haven't outdone yourself on "Tha Diner." But, this is still REALLY good. :) By the way, I like the hook! It's really catchy!! Nice job, M.H.!!! Still on the bandwagon. :) |

You won't be getting any sh*t from me Z, haha. I liked everything about it. I think this is the kind of production MH flows on the best and it definitely appeals to my ears. The hook sounded great on here. KEEP IT UP, MH!

The production, man wit that horn, is a beautiful backdrop for MH to spit his stories. This is a laid back track wit a cool concept and some slick rhymes.

Dope music MH keep it up! I love the jazz vibe on the song and the horns take the production to another level. This is deep stuff and I like the lyrics and flow on this one! Banger!

Music this smooth and poetic can only be accurately judged one way: if it gives you that Marvin-like spark in the bed.
I'll get back to yall on that. MH, mad anxious for the mixtape. More of the same. |

What's good y'all?
Thanks for checking out this weeks joint and leaving all your truthful feedback. It's much appreciated. Here's the whole rundown on the album tip and all that. I'm hoping to release "Dreamer's Poetry" in July. I'm actually waiting to announce an official release date because I am holding out on getting the release party date secured. I'm working on getting the album release show at First Avenue/7th Street Entry (the very legendary venue up here in Minnesota most famous for it's usage as the nightclub in Prince's PURPLE RAIN movie). The booking lady has been giving me the run around (lol...you know how that is). So I'm hoping to secure it for late July or Early August. When I lock in that date, I will decide the official release date of my album because I want it to fall in the same week. BTW, if you're in Minnesota and the Minneapolis area around the time of the album release, you should definitely come out to the show to see me live and show your support! June 9th will be the very last installment of the DJBOOTH.NET exclusive weekly series "Counting Sheep" and I will drop the mixtape that day as well. It will feature all of the joints that have been featured for the series (though a couple of this joint are being redone for the album too, due to the awesome feedback I got from you guys and others!). It will also include some freestyles, mixtape joints, interviews and other stuff. I'm actually hoping people can show their support by leaving me a message for the mixtape at my voicemail line: (763) 634-2017 An expletive-less message showing your support would be super dope. I'm going to compile them all and toss em' on the mixtape! I have a lot in stored for this summer and I'm very glad I have the support of so many people here at the booth. Y'all don't know how much I appreciate it. Thanks. |

I just listened to this track 3 times in a row. Each time was better than the one before it. Production is a little "elevator-ish" but I think it sits well with the message he's delivering. MH isn't trying to get you out on the dance floor. Real smooth, laid back and something I can put on the iPod and just let it play. Message def. hit home for me too, nice track MH.

That horn is so sweet. This is a nice one as usual MH. I @otta say that I was feelin ya music b4 I knew it was you. So there for I continue to be honest, and I can honestly say that your music is consistantly @ood. You and the boy Sparks should colab on this one. Oh and I a@ree with another user you should spit on that Mickey Factz Who's hotter? beat. I think that would be neat.
