DO NOT sleep on MC Golden Boy’s mic skills. With a voice and flow that could be easily mistaken for a combination of Cormega & Baby Blak (more of the later), Golden Boy is a very talented emcee who was successful in doing what 90% of other rappers today have a hard time doing…..keeping me tuned in! On the production side of things, producer Think Twice more than holds up his end of the bargain with original beats that are loaded with bottom without sacrificing clarity….which makes sense because Think Twice also “double-dutied” as the engineer on “II”. Last but not least, the group’s latest addition (DJ Goser) is nice with his on the cut, slicing many of the hooks to bits. The Specifics dropped their debut “Lonely City” in 2004. I’ve never heard their first offering…but, if it sounds half as dope as this follow-up then I’m all ears. Even when touching base on commonly addressed subject matter in Hip Hop (clubs, chillin’, braggin’ & boastin’, etc.) tracks such as “We At The….” & “Lampin’” (that word NEEDS to make a comeback) sound dope thanks to Think Twice’s ill production & Golden Boy’s catchy rhyme patterns which never become dormant.
