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.
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.
