The Return of the Real Posse Cut: Tribeca ft. Camp Lo & M-Dot “True Lies” (Listen & Download)

Frankly, it's rare that anything in an email grabs my attention, but I found myself really thinking shit over when an email for Tribeca's "True Lies" popped up in my inbox with the words, "What stands out on this high energy conceptual track, is the pass-off verse/ad-lib feel which carries all the way through (rarely seen in an internet age of send-in verses)."

That, sir, is an excellent fucking point. One of the great things about the internet age is that artists who would have never been able to work together because of geography can now get on the same track. But now that most songs are put together via email, tracks with at real live energy, that real posse cut feel, are a sad rarity. In other words, if "Scenario" had been put together in 201, it'd sound a lot more like one of this Fat Guy Who Yells mega-remixes, and hip-hop would be worse off for it.

Anyway....that's why I really found myself digging "True Lies". With NYC (obviously) native Tribeca grabbing the legendary Camp Lo and Boston emcee M-Dot for "True Lies" we get a dope revival of that energy that just can't be transmitted via DSL lines. Hells yeah.

"True Lies' is off Tribeca's upcoming mixtape, 'The Pookie Syndrome", due out this summer. Shout out to the other "True Lies".
