Hip-Hop | SUBMiT- Spend It ft. Pharoh & Taylor Bennett
Posted by Grubeats on June 2, 2014
You roll the dice, land on Boardwalk – do you throw down the paper and add it to your portfolio it or do you pass? STNDRD front runner voices his decision on his latest single, “Spend It”. Bringing along label mate, Pharoh, as well as Taylor Bennett, the younger brother of that rapper named Chance. Flowing smoothly over a light trap influenced production, the ATL young guns bounce back onto the blog scene as they continue to ascend to the limelight. SUB’s upcoming project, Apt. 139, dropping this fall.

SUBMiT & Pharoh, the two MC’s making up the free flowing hip hop trio, STNDRD. Both have impeccable flow and when they are in front of the camera, their body language only emphasizes the meaning of the lyrics. Combatting with that ping rap approach, the two shred the @OddCoupleBeats production, handing the mic back and forth, each delivering again and again a great verse. I’ve liked these guys (and girl) since I first heard them and each time they deliver new material, they continue to impress me. “We Want It All” is available for free on SUBMiT’s mixtape, Window Seat [Download Here]. I also suggest copping Pharoh’s recent release, Jungle Fever [Download Here].

Listen, I’m not going to claim to know the significance of the sideways ski-goggles-on-the-head-style, but I will confidently tell you that Pharoh has something special. Despite being charged a pretty penny for this beat, Pharoh let’s loose over the asian temple/tribal rhythm, rattling of a list of facts you and I “don’t know.” His raw delivery coupled with a unique style and delivery are enough to catch my ear. Follow him on his respective networks below.

Recently a one of our FNT faithful submitters dropped me a message on The Book telling me to check out a new artist he discovered, poised with heart, hunger, and potential. At that time, I tuned into “Turbulence” on my 3.5″ iPhone screen with expectations of a mediocre video at best. After one run through the video, I was sold. The production was clean and well structured, the concept was on point, and the lyrical aspect of the song blew away my “mediocre” expectations. Although “Turbulence” is only one chapter of SUBMiT’s most recent mixtape, Window Seat, it tells a lot about his desire to be the best. His flow on this track is impeccable and although I have not yet had a chance to listen to the remainder of Window Seat, I can imagine it’s consistent throughout.
While browsing SUBMiT’s website, I came across this quote he has posted and felt obliged to share,
“It’s one thing to be so dope that people try to be like you. It’s another thing to be so dope that people don’t even try; they just watch.”
I realize this is just the tip of the iceberg, but I see a lot of potential in this kid. Let us know in the comments section, are you investing in futures on “SUBMiT?
