New England bar veteran Big Dese and Floridian sample wizard Mike Martinez enlist the help of Queens, NY master lyricist Eff Yoo on “Stop Smiling” – the lead single from their upcoming 7th collaborative project, “DESEPERADO.” Over a bed of smooth but grimy strings and boom bap drums crafted by Martinez, Dese and Eff trade macho, fly-guy verses showcasing their powerful command of the English language. There’s no hooks here, but the track is catchy nonetheless, demanding several replays.
