DJ Taye - Studio 24

Teklife's Dj Taye the 17 year old prolific prodigy has dropped a full length on Rashad's new 'Lit City Trax' label. Taye has apparently been in the game since he was 14 and obviously shows his skills on the LP. His style is far more disposed to repeat listens as tracks each flaunts an obsessively catchy vocal hook and is teemed with a pop directed, ear-pleasing production. His songs definitely hang together with a more widely palatable eb and flow as opposed to the erratic syncopation and stop-start drops more common amongst the Ghettotekz but his sound is further distinguished by a certain cartoonish cuteness that he brings the album. I have to refer here to 'Popkorn Love' with is ecstatic bounciness and bubbly melody. Taye does loose it sometimes when his high pitched jingles just get too much but overall 'Studio 24' is a very subtle but effective album that will hook you in from first listen.
