LISTEN: Eddy B & Tim Gunter - "Fall From A Cloud"


MP3: Eddy B & Tim Gunter - "Fall From A Cloud"

Knowing next to nothing about rap production, I'd imagine it's probably difficult to come up with something that's of great quality. The same goes for the actual act of rapping. I feel that it's probably harder, in many respects, to make a rap song with serious substance than it is to write a rock song on guitar. You've got to arrange everything just so, making sure it all flows and clicks in just the right places. It has to be precise if it's ever going to go anywhere.

When I was introduced to this song, the first thing that struck me was the production. It's got this swirling synthesizer/keyboard that sounds like the sky, making the song both transcendent and heavy in character. My sister listens to some of the worst hip hop and I can only wish that it was this good. This is better than so much of the TOP 40 nonsense that clogs the general consciousness of a majority of Americans' minds and their poor eardrums. This song is not only good, it's memorable. Eddy B has something to say, and producer Tim Gunter provides the perfect sonic landscape over which Eddy B can deliver his message.

"Fall From A Cloud" is from Eddy B's mixtape Dear North Carolina, Welcome Back out this fall.
