Spose - I’m Awesome
- Artist: Spose
- Track: I'm Awesome
- Producer: Spose
- Album: Untitled (TBD)
In a music game where dropping boast after implausible boast is the status quo, what can you do to stand out from the self-aggrandizing pack? Simple: you hate on yourself. It may not be the newest strategy in the book (heck, Eminem basically built his career on a much darker brand of self-deprecation), but Booth newcomer Spose knows that, when delivered with a little wit, self-loathing never stops being funny. The sarcastically titled I'm Awesome finds the Maine native doing double-duty on the mic and behind the boards, serving up a very un-hardcore (but catchy) xylophone/whistle/accordion-driven beat as he gives us a thorough rundown of his faults. There are too many quotables for me to settle on a favorite, but “On my game, I'm only about as sexy as John McCain.” is a representative selection. So, has Spose won you over in spite of himself? Well, then I 'spose you should mosey on down to your local record store and purchase a copy of his currently-untitled full-length when it drops on June 29.
