Finally! The reason I say this isn’t because the video is particularly great, it’s because of the exposure it will help give this record and the LP in general. For me, this track was the middle finger to anyone who thought Premo was falling off. It’s also the track which proves Torae as one of the nicest in the underground, as he effortlessly rides over the perfect boom-bap concoction. Anything else I missed? Go grab the audio here.
Without doubt the standout track from Torae’s latest offering, but notable mentions go to collaborations featuring Pete Rock and Large Pro who each bring their own unique formula to the project. Definitely one for the heads. Torae-For The Record (Prod. DJ Premier)
Needless to say, this looks like a must-have for all hip-hop fans, and alongside the glut of rap gargantuans, there are a couple of ‘middle-ground’ names on here I’ve been looking to get into, whilst I’m sure we’ll also be introduced to a few new and upcoming stars. To quote Peter, ‘With so much BS out there — sometimes it’s hard to find what’s really poppin. Well I did the work for you. Enjoy.’
Instrumental is the same knocking Nottz beat from the original, which for those missed it first time round features a jaunty, head-nodding baseline acting as the perfect tempo for each emcee to do their thing over. Torae and Ghost’s vocals are powerful and sandwich the venomous female tongue of Digga. Mmmmm….
Now I’m dropping my favourite track from the LP. As usual from the talented beat-maker/scratcher, Statik pulls in some of his contacts for another feature-heavy joint. I’m a big fan of Torae and I recommend you pick up some of his stuff. We know lots about Skyzoo and Rapper Pooh (Little Brother) so you know what to expect on this track. Pure fire. Statik Selektah (feat Skyzoo, Torae, Rapper Pooh & Lee Wilson) – Get Out |
