Mann ft. Skeme & Shawn Chrystopher - Kickin It Wit the Lingo
- Artist: Mann
- Track: Kickin It Wit the Lingo
- Feat. Shawn Chrystopher, Skeme
- Producer: J. Hawk
- Album: Near Life Experience Mixtape
Back in August of '09, Mann succeeded where quite a few other artists had failed, earning widespread Booth acclaim for a tuneful track revolving around the trendy topic of Text messaging. The L.A. native's clearly got a knack for catchy, radio-ready jams, but can the 18-year-old emcee truly rock the mic without the help of a R&B-pop hook? On new mixtape leak Kickin' It Wit the Lingo, Mann answers that question once and for all, showcasing his “crispy as a Pringle” style over a sparse, percussion-driven beat by J. Hawk. After the headliner spits his swagger-drenched opener, Booth newcomer Skeme jumps on board to stunt his way through verse two, and reader favorite Shawn Chrystopher closes the track on a strong note, flaunting his female appeal and name-dropping Tom Sawyer on the back end. So, did Mann succeed in creating a track as addictive as the aforementioned chip brand? If you think so, you can look forward to popping open Mann's new Near-Life Experience mixtape next Monday, April 12.
