YP - What I'm On
Artist: YP
Featuring: Rockie Fresh
Producer: Tye Hill
Album: No Sleep (Mixed by DJ RTC)
Label: Unsigned
If a dope Booth freestyle, the poignant Pray for ‘Em and cosigns from Rakewon and Q-Tip weren’t enough to convince you that YP‘s onto something, then I’m gonna have to assume that you’re on something. Unlike yours truly, however, the Chi-town native is willing to give slowpokes the benefit of the doubt – on his new single, What I’m On, he delivers a remedial course on what he’s all about. With Tye Hill‘s inspired sample work bumping in the background, YP lets his lyrically aggressive side shine. While the quotable lines come fast and furious, for once it’s easy to pick a favorite; in the most hilarious pop-referential punchline I’ve heard in a long minute, he spits: “I’m from the city of the pimps and dopeheads, they’ll find you in the trunk like when Cosby was Ghost Dad.” While you really can’t top a Ghost Dad reference, guest emcee Rockie Fresh makes a valiant effort, keeping things light and witty as he trades bars with the headliner. YP’s DJBooth.net/RubyHornet-sponsored No Sleep mixtape is set to drop Dec. 14; in the meantime, why not check out his recent “In the Mix” interview?

"What I'm On" has a Chicago/West Coast combo feel to it. The production has Shaft-inspired elements, but regardless of the boardwork the real story here is the emcees. YP and Rockie are two of the freshest voices from the Windy City and, thought I think they coulda both given more on the mic, this effort is as enjoyable as we've heard from both in Booth to date.

Well first off, i couldnt wait to hear this from YP, cuz his last record was a classic, so i was a lil anxious to see more. And im feeling this from YP. Its not nearly as good as his last work, but its a solid track. Also, im a big fan of Rockie. I really liked his last records. And he was a great feature in this. I think he did better than YP tho.... Also, this record has nice production value from Tye Hill. In rotation for me......

YP flow and lyrics seem a little off on this track. I believe he has a banger in his sleeve some time soon.
