As those familiar with his Booth history are well aware, Verse Simmonds is a pretty straightforward guy when it comes to the ladies. Whether he’s inviting you to sit on his “magic wand” or propositioning you through an Intoxicated Text, his agenda’s right there in the open. Similarly, when he offers to Buy You A Round, he makes no bones (pun intended) about his intentions – the alcohol i

For those of us who have seen the movie, Grizzly Man is the name of a crazy flick about a dude who gets eaten by bears, but for those who haven’t, the title The Grizzly Man will now be forever associated with the Kidz in the Hall’s new dope cut. Produced by Kidz member Double O (who also lays down some dope vocals), The Grizzly Man appropriately samples rock band Grizzly Bear’s single Two We

Don’t two individuals have to lock eyes in order for it to qualify as “love at first sight?” I thought so, but evidently I was mistaken; on new single I Go Crazy, PaYOW! emcee Huey describes a shorty with such smooth dance moves that, after one glimpse, he was ready to start shopping for a ring. Booty-shaking, however hypnotizing, may not seem like the best basis for a lasting relationship,

Buff1’s only been around the Booth for a short time (his debut track When the Winter Comes was featured earlier this month), but in only a few weeks the Atlanta born, Michigan raised emcee is making quite the impact. Just in case you thought his abilities were a fluke the first time around, Buff is back with his new track The Best are Full of Love, and he’s brought some friends along. While th

Man, if I knew then what I know now, I probably wouldn’t have bought that MC Hammer tape and those parachute pants. (Hey, take it easy on me, I was eight.) The wish that your younger, more reckless self had the wisdom you do now is one we’ve all had, and it’s a wish Lyfe Jennings knows only too well. In the follow-up single to his DJBooth approved Haters, Jennings is back with his new offeri

Ladies and gentlemen, Give It Up for the one and only Sheek Louch! This newly-leaked mixtape cut finds the D-Block member and 10-year-plus veteran of the music game enjoying a little well-deserved “me time” on the mic, inviting listeners to pay homage as he delivers an abridged rundown of his many accomplishments (“I gave you hits, anthems, more than rhymes/ club bangers…”) as well as sh

Man, women can do a number on a guy. Every man has a beautiful memory of a time spent with a significant woman that’s cemented in their minds, but once that lady disappears from your life, those memories can quickly turn sad and lonely. The creative mastermind behind This Charming Mixtape, Theophilus London is more than familiar with such a situation, and uses it as the template for his new tra.

Hey girl, you’re so fine I’ll give you Whatever U Want. No, I’m not Kanye West, I’m Consequence, though I do look a lot like him from some angles. What’s that you say? You liked the original track, especially my quasi-look alike Kanye’s production and John Legend’s always smooth vocals, but you’d like a remix even better? No problem ma, what if I were to drop Whatever U Want (Remix

Being cool may not pay the bills, but Booth-acclaimed up-and-comer Sene is confident that he won’t be pinching pennies for much longer. On Departure Time, a newly-leaked cut, the Brooklyn native lets listeners know just how sure he is that he’s headed to the top. Over South Floridian producer Numonics’ lush blend of piano, strings and electric guitar, the emcee delivers more of the poetical

I don’t know if it’s the high altitude, stewardesses or in-flight meals, but something about air travel gets Bronx emcee The Kid Daytona going. This past summer he released an album titled Come Fly With Me, which included the aptly named track, Air Born. On his newest single, 1st Class Upgrade, Daytona takes on a different aspect of traveling - the coveted upgrade. Produced by Booth favorite 6

Having made a name for himself as a member of Termanology‘s ST. Da Squad, Lawrence, Massachusetts emcee Ghetto (side note: is anyone else surprised we haven’t featured a rapper by that name before now?) is getting ready to take center stage with the impending release of solo mixtape Trunk Music. Star of Da Show, the up-and-comer’s latest single and first Booth feature finds him spitting vers

As an up-and-coming artist with cash to spare and too many women to fit into one tricked-out ride (as he explained on his last Booth feature), 4-IZE is enjoying himself too much to let haters and sucker emcees ruffle his feathers – thus, his boilerplate response to anyone talking trash is a polite but firm, “No, no, Dat Ain’t Gon’ Ride.” This newly-leaked track off IZE’s forthcoming Il

It’s been a few months since we last heard from London (who’s actually from Oakland), but he’s been hard at work in the studio since laying down his last Booth-approved track She Put It Down, and he’s got the music to prove it. Written by DJBooth-featured artist Dominic and produced by production trio Anonymous (whose hidden identities are actually Tony Dixon, Eric Dawkins and Damon Thomas

Been jonesing for a new online series to keep tabs on? Beatsmith Terrace Martin‘s got you covered like bedsheets – to build anticipation of the 2010 release of his forthcoming The Demo LP, the West Coast mainstay’s kicked off a weekly series entitled The Demo Preview, beginning with a brand new cut called… wait for it… The Demo. The title is the only predictable element of this track, wh

As he revealed in his recent interview with our very own DJ Z, everyone’s favorite heavily tattooed rapper Wiz Khalifa doesn’t consider the time he spent signed to a major label a waste. Actually, Deal or No Deal, he still feels like he’s destined for success (bad pun alert). After dropping a mixtape (Burn After Rolling) and the first single off the album (This Plane), Khalifa is back and re

You know what I like the most about The ILLZ, besides his always on point facial hair game? In an industry full of followers you never know what the man’s going to do next. I mean, his DJBooth freestyle was nuts, and his latest offering doesn’t just bend genres, it destroys them. Sonically, Faded improbably takes its production inspiration from British singer Beth Orton, flipping her folk cut

New to the Booth but definitely not to the underground scene (he’s got four-going-on-five studio albums and three instrumental full-lengths under his belt), Danny! Swain is introducing himself to readers with a track as attention-grabbing as the exclamation point at the end of his first name. Get Down is pretty much as catchy as it gets, from the South Carolina-bred emcee’s intricately-rhymed,

The first time I checked out Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (in 8th grade), I was inspired. I tried to do crazy ridiculous ish every day after that, all while doing my best to smooth talk my way out of any trouble. While that didn’t work out too well (being grounded every other week for six months can break a habit quickly), I still think about would it would be like if my life was a Movie. Well, C

Girls always like to play innocent, but every guy out there has turned to a flirting female and told them, U Know What U Doin, including singer/songwriter extraordinaire Kevin Cossom (who just recently Took The Club Ova). Having dropped the original way back in December, Cossom’s injected some new life into U Know What U Doin for the remix, adding a few additional layers onto the already comple.

Paul McCartney may have been addressing a romantic relationship when he sang “Life is very short, and there’s no time for fussing and fighting…,” but that sentiment holds even more true when it comes to the spilling of literal Blood. On this new, unreleased cut, A Blessing emcee Jabee pays tribute to his brother, who passed away this past September. The ARE flips a sample from a soul cover
