Iron Solomon - King

It's always a hard transition for mixtape bullies and freestyle kings to make into the mainstream. One of the knocks against them is that while they can body a verse, writing a song, complete with relevant lyrics and a good hook, comes hard for some of them (coughcoughJoecoughBuddencoughcough). Maybe it's best that some of them stay in that lane (coughcoughMurdacoughMookcoughcough), but others, like Iron Solomon seem to be able to ride the wave effortlessly. Last week, I threw up Solomon's ode to the spring time. This week, we've got two #dopetracks. One is a remake of the Run DMC classic 'Sucker MC's', featuring DMC himself. You know you've got a cosign when the artist of the song you're remaking gets on the track. The beat switches it up from the original, but stays just familiar enough to make me bop my head extra hard. The second track is Solomon going solo, talking about why he should be considered king. The beat had to grow on me, but after that, his lyrics had me hitting rewind after the first bar. Whatever your stance on mixtape/cypher bullies turned mainstream artists, you've got to admit the man is nice on wax. Check the two loosies out...
