Freaky song for dance club. Parental advisory is a mild term for this sexy number. Some of the Midwest’s hottest male rappers on one collaboration has the sound of a sweltering New Orleans night, somewhere between midnite and 5am. "Fallen" has a down and out background but leaves you with a feeling that everything is going to work out just fine. A little prayer and The 23rd Psalm have a way of keeping you on the ups every time. Page1's voice hints at despair, but you know this man is a survivor when you hear what he has to say. "I'm a Boss" shows the versatility of Page1. A hype beat for the club! Page 1 has the whole crowd moving with this track. The young hustlers want to be like him, stacking money and running the scene like a pro. Imagine a custom whip with chrome shining and rims rolling- pulling up in front of the club on a hot summer night. Jumping out and mobin in with your crew.
