Is anyone else wowed about what Obie Trice is doing with producer MoSs?
– That capital ‘S’ in MoSs is annoying, and from henceforth I’ll just refer to him as Moss. Grammar issues aside, Obie Trice is getting his rap on all of a sudden. Moss rolls with DJ Premier these days, and his greatness must be rubbing off on him. The two tracks I heard with Obie Trice and Moss collabing are straight FIRE. “I Am” (courtesy I am) features unique, hard-hitting drums and angry horns that scream hardcore. These are the kind of beats that we hope Nas selects. Obie seems to be rapping like he is pissed people forgot his name. He express the hunger on the aptly titled “Got Hunger.” Switch the horns with strings, and you got another uptempo banger by Obie. Special Reserve is the LP that Obie is about to drop with these tracks, and damn, it is summing up to be a banger. I was always a fan of Obie as a mainstream emcee, and hopefully with Moss he can make an album worthy of the hype he once had as Eminem’s #2 dude. I watched a little bit of that Lil Wayne doc…doesn’t it feel
