“AWKWORD’s “Doctor Doctor” is Too Ill to be Saved” – A Refined Hype World Premier!!!…

Select Reviews:

RefinedHype.com:

Every rapper claims to keep it real, but most are so lost in fantasy they don’t even know their own reality anymore. Not AWKWORD. A New York City emcee who’s dedicated himself to the lost art of pre-Giuliani hip-hop, everything you need to know about the man’s music is contained in new single “Doctor, Doctor”. Making its world premiere on RefinedHype, in addition to a subtly addictive beat from MajoR R.E. and a guest verse from GuessWho?, “Doctor, Doctor” is the kind of rap that’s not afraid to truly let listeners inside. 

“Doctor, Doctor” is off AWKWORD’s upcoming album “World View”, which has a dope background: all proceeds from the album, which includes features from Joell Ortiz, KRS-One and more, will go to Aim to Live, a 501c3-registered nonprofit dedicated to educating and empowering urban youth. Fucks yeah, it’s bigger than hip-hop. 

DJBooth.net:

Don’t let the stage name fool you—when it comes to rocking the mic, Booth newcomer AWKWORD is anything but. As proof, I present the NYC repper’s current single, Doctor Doctor; premiered over on RefinedHype, this record finds Malaysian beatsmith MajoR R.E. cooking up a funky, sampled beat to back AWK and guest emcee GuessWho as they demonstrate just how ill (both literally and figuratively) they are. Digging it? Keep it locked for all the latest tunes leading up to the arrival of World View in 2012.

RockTheDub.com:

Here’s another cut from AWKWORD’s World View album; if you missed the Refined Hype premiere of this, for shame. Without creating alters, AWK breaks down his ills to the doctor on this one, with GuessWho? alongside for the ride. I do this a lot, but usually inside my own mind, or in text via twitter… or this blog. We all have problems and stress, it’s just in how you handle that shit. Real talk on this one, with beats from Malaysia. Malaysia! Hip-Hop is global, pricks!

HipHopDependency.com:

I have seen this name floating out there for some time. This is my first time really sitting down to listen to Awkword though. I like what I hear from this single off his yet to be released album, World View. Therapy music…

WeGoinIn.com:

Crazy fat swollen shouts to AWKWORD and Guess Who… for this ill joint. Recognize the realness or fall back!

I’m a bit late on this one, but I feel that music like this should get listened to! Anyway, “The Dating Game – Revisited” is THE WOMENS RIGHTS REMIX of Awkword’s single “The Dating Game”, which gives listeners both sides of this game Awkword says most people play — whether looking for love, lust or just someone we could just hangout with. This song will appear on his forthcoming World View project, the first-ever 100% For-Charity Global Hip Hop project, with production from 15+ nations and some dope features from Joell Ortiz, Sean Price, Sha Stimuli, the teacher himself – KRS One and many more.
