Throwing it back to 2007! For this weeks Tracks You May Have Missed series we’re taking it back to Classified’s 2007 album While You Were Sleeping. Personally, this is one album I bumped for a whole summer. Everyday, through and through. This was a compilation album that had both released and unreleased material and one of the stand out tracks on the album is what we’ve picked to highlight today. Ain’t Hard to Find is a great song.
Let’s start with the production. The beat is produced by Classified himself. He’s one of the rappers out there that can actually put a track together from beginning to end. This beat bangs! The drums hit hard and the horns give the track that big sound. Its fast paced and high energy. No wonder I used to listen to it before heading in to work. Ha!
The verses on this track come from Mic Boyd (Class’s Brother) and the Halflife Records boss himself, Classified on the second verse. Both Mic Boyd and Classified personify hip hop as the love of their lives and walk us through their turbulent relationships as independent artists. The verses are tight. But an awesome addition to this track is Jordan Croucher who lends his voice to the track. This dude can sing.
This is a nice joint. The Canadian kids are nice, stop sleeping! Peep below.
