Daniel Cronson and Kehinde have given us something undeniably magical. Whilst embracing the power of Blues, Hip-Hop, and Jazz that flows through their luminous city of Chicago, they have conjured the mighty “Grand Visions”. The track is three and a half minutes of smooth, summery blues; guided by heartfelt, northside vocals and piercing, southside rhymes. Daniel works much of Grand Visions’s foundation; driving it with a few lovable chords from his guitar, backing keys, ambiance, and a slow-burning drum loop. The essence of John Mayer seems to possess much of his performance, as he glides soulfully across this production with “Continuum”-esque immaculacy. However, as brilliant as this single is with Daniel Cronson alone, it would be imperfect without Kehinde’s breathtaking bars. Lyrically, he reincarnates Daniel’s breakdown of the trials one faces in pursuing their dreams, by giving his own, in-depth take on the topic. What results is a magnetizing, new record for Chicago’s summer. One that will have you ready to fire up the grill out back, as easily as it fires up your soul.
Philly Blocks is as slick as can be on his fresh, Kentucky anthem, “Days Of Our Lives”. Packed with an accompanying music video, which features the rapper fancying a typical, Louisville night, this new-age trap smash is beyond impressive. The Bluegrass State emcee brings his best wordplay, delivery and metaphors to this nearly three-minute opus. Stark 808s boom across a malevolent melody, with scattering hihats and trap drums, as Philly Blocks raps about his upbringing in those Southern streets. What juts out about “Days Of Our Lives” is how lyrical the record is, and how vivid its visual grows to be. Both elements of this hardbody effort get better and better as the runtime lunges on. Between scenes of the talented spitter frequenting corner stores, blocks, and his fellow Team 563 members, Philly Blocks delivers a lyrical performance synonymous to the greats of the Golden Era. He is precise with every bar he lays in the booth; and that precision not only enhances “Days Of Our Lives”, but likewise makes the Kentucky rapper a treasure in the current era of Hip-Hop.
Silky, soulful and smooth. Those three words will be the first and only rebounding through your mind, once play is clicked on Christiano Can’s “F.A.N.S” extended-play. As the rapper’s debut project, “F.A.N.S” seeks to make a grandiose introduction; and it delivers that statement in more eclectic ways than one. First and foremost, the soulful, sophisticated textures of this music make it a awe-striking, pleasant listen from the jump. Golden horns, colorful chords, and a luscious female vocal form a dreamscape out of the intro-track “D.A.F.H.A.H”. Style changes as the tape progresses; with a variety of sounds, rhythms and grooves, erupting from the depths of the mix. Raw, quirky Hip-Hop is at the root of “Oddly Awkward” (Neo-Soul gushing throughout its remix), and pure, undulating Funk bubbling about the final track, “I’m Only Crazy”. Alongside this evidence of Christiano Can’s uniqueness as an artist, there is the overwhelming proof of his competence as a rapper. As the EP surges on, Christiano draws from myriad flows. On the track, “Oddly Awkward”, something Eminem-esque is transpiring; with our genre-rapper having the lyrics to do it justice, as well. He is nonchalant on the remix, smooth on the intro-track, and energetic on the out. As sporadic as “F.A.N.S” is as a body of work, it is immensely impressive and certainly satisfying. All over it is the mark of true musical artistry; and we can do nothing but look forward to Christiano Can’s drops on the 5th of every month this year. Fingers crossed, they’ll be as jaw-dropping as this.
Florida has been a hot bed for hip hop talent recently, led by Kodak Black and XXXTentacíon. Since, we've seen a number of new artists emerge out of south Florida and may be looking at the next phenomenon. KV Infinity, sliding onto the music scene out of Hallandale, Fla. is a six member group(LimboKV, LunaryKV, ManiiKV, NintiKV, VozziKV, and YoungkikeKV) looking to take the game by storm with their new single "Candy." The song has a nice jazzy groove, but still knocks coming through your speakers that will have your head bobbing uncontrollably. The track, which was produced by the groups own ManiiKV also has a catchy hook that you'll find yourself singing hours after the is over. KV Infinity's unity and crew love for one another puts me in the mind of other mega groups like ASAP Mob and Odd Future. "Candy" is the first single off of their upcoming mixtape, INFINITY and if it is any indication of what we can expect from this squad, I'd imagine they will develop a cult core like the aforementioned groups in no time.
