Yung Brodee - Good Die Young

Producer: Cozmo

Album: 100 Percent Authentic

Label: Fly Money Ent.

Though Yung Brodee‘s first feature, What He On, earned unanimously positive reviews when it hit the Booth back in September of 2009, we haven’t heard from him since. If you were wondering what the West Coast emcee’s been up to, wonder no longer; Brodee’s back to remind us he’s still alive and kicking with Good Die Young, an album leak which finds him returning to the streets where he spent his formative years. Over the street-ready synths and handclap percussion of beatsmith Cozmo, he paints a lyrical portrait of a ‘hood where gang crime is endemic and “...you’re lucky if you make it to the age of 21.” Through all the hardships, though, his will to succeed never faded: “I was told time’s never waitin’, so I gotta get it like I got no patience.” Fans can expect plenty more 100 Percent Authentic, street-certified hip-hop on Brodee’s forthcoming full-length, set to drop sometime in April. In addition, watch for the up-and-comer to step into the Booth with an exclusive freestyle in the near future!

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on February 22, 2010

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11677	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs A fresh young voice from the west coast who inherited some catchy-as-all-get-out production from Cozmo (where you been, Coz?). I am liking what the west is offering these days. I hope they can keep it up. Follow @DJBooth

DjKidd's Top Rated Songs

title caught my eye right away and then the production put me in a trance...the hook is pretty bad, and if he put that in a verse i would have been cool...but he speaking about real stuff and this dude can flow, but i aint totally feeling this to say i would play this in the car, but this is a cool mixtape song just to use as a fill in but not a single potential...i hope to hear more

LeWy Tastemaker Total Ratings: 639	Rating: LeWy's Top Rated Songs Production is real real smooth!! I think Yung Brodee should of took a more chill approach to match the beat!! I almost feel like he's yelling and that just doesn't match the chill beat!! Rotation....

Guest	Rating: Our "Westcoast" readers will certainly enjoy this. It's the definition of rotation worthy. Better than "Just Ok", but not quite "Banger" status.

Nathan S. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 2476	Rating: Nathan S.'s Top Rated Songs Speaking, I guess, as a west coast representative, this isn't "that" west coast. It knocks, but I don't hear that old school funk that's been the root of the west for a generation now. That's not a knock at all, it just means I feel like it defies such easy categorization. Would have liked to have heard some more depth to the beat, but I was digging this.

Burmy DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 516	Rating: Burmy's Top Rated Songs I gave a powerful co-sign to "What He On" back when I wrote that blurb in September. It was a solid West Coast banger, though I was witholding further judgment until I heard another side. That other side is what you all heard today. Glad to see he can get introspective with his music too (plus Cozmo's beat helps make this!)
