Bret Boogie takes “Control”

The trustworthy voice of Transistor Fist, Senator Bret Boogie, finally brings us his solo debut all while flexing his first amendment rights to their fullest. Taking on our increasing need for social responsibility, Bret takes control of the mic as well as the topics he addresses. He does, however, relinquish it a couple times throughout to the likes of Senor Kaos and Methuzulah. Also, in the song, “This Is Warfare” he even includes an unearthed verse from Jax.

This Is Warfare

The production on this album is also noteworthy with straight forward, hard-hitting beats from the likes Illistrate, The GoodSon, Beat Studies, and the Senator himself. On the track “Sorta Gotta Take Control” The GoodSon uses a guitar loop that sets a tone of confidence in time of uncertainty. The drums drive the track home with authority as Bret delivers his clear intentions.

Sorta Gotta Take Control

“Generally, what I learned while making Control is that it is very difficult for an individual to maintain a proper balance within the context of modern life. To be a thinking, progressive, creative, yet responsible, respectable person is a task that needs constant attention and personal push. With that said, I learned how to rely upon myself to deliver the characteristics and style I want to espouse, but I also learned that I don’t have as much control as I think I do.” -Senator Bret Boogie

Jax featured on previously unheard track

Produced by Tha’ GoodSon of Transistor Fist, the song utilizes an unfinished recording session with Jax of Binkis Recs before his untimely passing. GoodSon and Senator Bret later wrote around Jax’s verse, creating a new song that pays homage to the fallen artist, while maintaining Bret’s strong themes of personal empowerment and socio-political deconstruction. Senor Kaos, one of Jax’s closest friends and collaborators, then rounded out the song, co-signing the themes, while remembering the incredible energy that was Jax.

“The Real ATL”

If you are interested in what the underground is truly capable of, peep this new joint by ATL’s hottest. 4-Ize’s “Illuminated Animals” was my favorite mixtape to hit the streets in 2009. Senor Kaos is still pumpin’ his latest and greatest mix-tape, “Walk Softly and Carry a Big Brick”. Boog Brown’s “Grind Season” is out now and it is on FIRE.  These are the trend setters for our scene. We expect big things from all three this year.

Now here it is. Thanks to DJ Grandman… “The Real ATL” brings them all together on one song.
