Like a bat out of hell, Lady Gaga added a bit of spice to what was shaping up to be somewhat of a mundane week.  Perhaps at some point down the line either her or Beyoncé will let us in on the inside joke that is her “Telephone” video.  Until then we’ll find some reason to soldier on through her nine minute visual conundrum.  Here’s what else went down: Read the rest of this entry »

“Between your future and your present…Between what’s real and what’s fake…Between where you are and where you want to be…Lies the Land of Make Believe.”

KITH “The Introlude” gets the One Shot treatment courtesy of Nah Right & Court Dunn. With the camera angles, my mind was thrown back to HBO’s old Taxicab Confessions, minus listening to a cheap hooker rattle on about her pimp. Read the rest of this entry »

Actual intelligence is an undervalued aspect in Hip-Hop. The art of fabrication, or artificial intelligence however, seems to dominate a listener’s perspective and conception of the culture. As an artist, you’re allegedly supposed to uphold certain guidelines as to maintain the characteristics of actually being an artist. But what if you’re able to see the gray area and highlight the color associated it with it? Then you’re probably a member of Kidz In The Hall. Read the rest of this entry »

On one of their most ambitious records ever, Kidz In The Hall express their desire for global dominance in just five minutes of triumph and pure exaltation. Truthfully speaking, this is for the youth of today; an anthem to get them through their struggles that we as adults come to learn as being menial. Colin Monroe & Just “Red 5ive” Blaze ride the track’s sonic wave and set the stage Naledge’s verses which contain more gems than the Diamond Cellar. Read the rest of this entry »

Double O’s hair is the distraction. That’s the only reason I can think of as for why more people aren’t attracted to his production. I’d take an instrumental tape from this guy instead of a gang of “big name” producers out there. Read the rest of this entry »

To put a little promo down for the Crowd Control Tour, KITH, Donnis, 88-Keys and Izza gather for a track of the same name, co-produced by Double O and 88. I’ve never been overwhelmed by Donnis, but I usually check his material just to keep track of his progress. Score points for the kid here for the line “It’s just me and my team, We don’t get no sleep sleep, so we have no dreams.” I may just adopt that as my working mantra. Read the rest of this entry »

A quarter goes a long way if you’re Naledge & Double O in the Land Of Make Believe. Kidz In The Hall’s third album drops March 9th via Duck Down Records. Read the rest of this entry »

Renaissance age rap agents Kidz In The Hall are still trotting the globe on their Professional Leisure Tour as they check in with some professionals in their own right, The Motion Family. ‘Tis the season for giving and the duo blessed the massed with a freEP for the holidays. Make sure you snag that if need be. Read the rest of this entry »

Two new ones from KITH. “We Gone” is one final leak off Tuesday’s upcoming Professional Leisure Tour free EP while the other track finds Naledge doing his mic-check 1, 2 over Wale’s jawn (||) and that old Cube. Read the rest of this entry »

Work smarter, not harder.

Posting compiled Loosies is always time consuming to an extent. It’s always good to feel like we’re getting tracks out to you & it always gives a “Uhh? Who us?” feeling when an unheard of artist sends an email thanking us for including their mp3 in a Loosies set. But @ the same time, I started to notice that where an estimated hour or two per day would be spent rounding up Loosies, they’d only be downloaded by a handful of the several thousand travelers who cross our e-doorstep daily.

Another release from the Kidz upcoming freebie, Professional Leisure Tour. “All Night” continues on the same uptempo, up close pace established on “Grizzly Man” and features Marsha’s contributions (again so quickly?) in the vocal department. Despite the unassuming expressions worn in the picture above, these two are devils in disguise evidenced as Naledge espouses the finer points of manwhoring to the melody.

Fans these days. Their appetite for new material insatiable. When pupils of Kidz In The Hall found out their 3rd LP, Land Of Make Believe, was pushed back to March 2K10, they threatened to drop out the course. Being the accomplished scholars musicians they are though, Naledge and Double “The Hair” O bounced back and linked up with LRG to construct the freEP Professional Leisure Tour, set to drop right on your laptop December 8th, 2009. Naledge & Double-O craftily rework Grizzly Bear’s “Two Weeks” into a testosterone-filled, braggadocios Hip-Hop track, just like we like our music to be. Read the rest of this entry »
