Sonny Digital steps out from behind the booth and onto the mic on "I'm The Man."

As we've seen Young Chop and Lex Luger do earlier this year, premier Atlanta beatmaker Sonny Digital is embarking on a solo career. Trying his hand at both rapping and singing on his new track "I'm The Man," Digital shows us that his production skills, though remarkable, aren't the only thing he has going for him.

He also produced "I'm The Man," and gives the track a cold atmosphere that sounds driven by whale songs. THe accompanying beat is clattering, methodical and much more toned-down than most of Digital's productions for other artists.

"I'm The Man" presents a picture of Sonny Digital that's nuanced and promising -- keep your eye on his solo career.

Quotable Lyrics:

Been the man since a nigga can remember
Puttin' niggas on, January to December
I'm a vet in the game, ain't changed
Never changed, same team, young nigga
I'm a winner
