• Producer: Reemabeets
• Album: Critically Acclaimed

Since this is the Queens emcee's first Booth feature, readers may be wondering, “Who the F*ck Is Provoke?” Well, Friends With Benefits provides at least a partial answer: he's an ambitious up-and-comer with an impressive flow, a sense of humor, and a very quirky taste in beats. Reemabeats' production, based around a repeated sample of the “Final Jeopardy” theme (which was originally composed by show creator Merv Griffin as a lullaby for his son, if you were wondering) is the type of instrumental that might become annoying in the hands of a lesser rapper, but when paired with Provoke's mile-a-minute rhymes it sounds just right. Call me crazy, but this emcee's ability to elevate what could easily be a run-of-the-mill sex rap with unpredictable, hyperkinetic delivery is a little Luda-esque. In addition to appearing on the Tapemasters Inc.-presented Who the F*ck Is Provoke mixtape, Friends With Benefits is slated for inclusion on the rapper's debut studio album, Critically Acclaimed, which has yet to receive a release date.
