K*Ners ft Kardinal Official - MESSY

K*Ners ft Kardinal Official - MESSY


K*Ners has always been one of the most talented artists from Bristol. For years he has been dropping bombs and making moves in the UKHH scene. What makes K*Ners a little bit different than your average artist, he gets acknowledgement from various sources for his music, whether it’s labels, newspapers, magazines etc, the hard work and graft he puts in is unquestionable, and the fact that he holds down a 9-5 job as well, shows how much passion this man has for his music.

This track represents how good of an artist he actually is, it’s a ‘Coast 2 Coast’ track that feature one of the Heavyweights of the Hip Hop World. Kardinal Official is known as ‘The Hip Hop Ambassador’ in Canada, and is widely renowned as one of Canada’s best producers. For Kardinal Official to feature on a track with K*Ners to me, is a phenomenal achievement for K*Ners, and will only help establish Bristol more and more.

From the kick off, the beat has a real UK hip hop/grime feel to it, the hook whilst quite simplistic, is extremely catchy, and there’s an extra dynamic when K*Ners drops the hook on the second part. The first two verses is vintage K*Ners, flow is fluid, and content is well written, he brings the rap/reggae style to this track, no matter what beat K*Ners lays vox down on, his style instantly creates something that’s separate from the rest. Kardinal Official drops the third verse, he does try to put on a slight British accent, but I will let him off. Officials verse is very very polished, and compliments K*Ners first two verses nicely.




This is a big collaboration featuring immense talent from both sides of the Atlantic. 

Keep an eye out for this track featuring on K*Ners album due out Summer 2013.

These collaborative tracks from UK to US should be done more often, as it really is a win, win for the artists on the track, you get exposure from two different countries, and the track will have a lot of different content and depth to it…..anyway that’ something else to think about.

So in closing, get your asses onto YouTube, and give this track a listen….or several, you won’t be disappointed, and you will be supporting one of Bristol’s best.

Half of 2.
