Rising down new roots album coming April 29th can;t wait to pick this up, form the few tracks I have seen/heard (Get busy is crazy,PD cracks verse is nice, the drums and synth dopeness) and the track in bold I can't wait to hear, its Malik b's response to Water(Phrenolgy album), should be interesting. I'm also tryna see if I could go see em when they(as Erykah's guests) come around my way next month.
I'm still waiting for my copy of Mc Kah's -Subira, Did Wakamba Wawili drop? I also picked up a mixtape from Rags to records called beats za hype, some good shit on there , the production impressed me most, nice to hear producers improving on their craft(the dude nik punk is definitely doing his thing), played this the whole weekend. On one of the tracks "...Mtaani tunachomwa na jua kali/ ka Pili pili/ Mpaka tunaishiwa Morale", dark track, Definitely not for radio I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Peace!
Labels: Beat za hype, KE hip hop, Roots
