When you think about a joint that embodies hip hop, this is a cut that should come to mind. Verbal Acrobatics heralds off of Pushing Button’s album from earlier this year, Full Level. This song has it all: Dope rhymes and flows from M-Dot and Plastic, along with a beat that is nothing short of a head nodder from the production duo with precise scratched cuts. Love this joint.
Pushing Buttons – Tough Times (ft M Dot, Lateb, Kore, 12 Finger Dan) (Video)
Second single from Pushing Buttons JUST released album, Full Level. Tough Times features M-Dot and Lateb, with Kore on the chorus. The song is a soulful, bluesy, and a neck-snapping that takes the listener through the pain, strife, and resilience it takes to make it in life. Some very heart felt and relatable bars on this joint. 12 Finger Dan is on the cuts and really makes this track pop even more than it already does. I also think this is one of the best animated videos I have seen.
Make sure you check out the album if you love the way this sounds!
