Whitefolkz ft. Wordsmith - The Waiting Line
The grind from underground obscurity to rap megastardom may require near-superhuman patience, but Washington, D.C.'s Whitefolkz (who, despite what the stage name may suggest, is just one white guy) knows that, like a ticking time bomb, he's bound to blow eventually – thus, he's got no problem with hanging out in The Waiting Line for a little while longer. Drum Majors ATL handle production duties on this tunefully chill mixtape single, backing the headliner's determined braggadocio with a sample from English rock/trip-hop duo Zero 7's similarly-titled Standing in the Waiting Line. Topped off with the laid-back yet equally driven guest stylings of Baltimore underground mainstay Wordsmith, this lyrically on-point cut is sure to leave fans of left-of-center, rock influenced hip-hop hungry for more. If that's the case, you'll want to mark your calendars for the release of Whitefolkz' new Alphadogg street album, set to hit the 'net – surprise, surprise – on April 20.
