    She is such a K.A.D.

    Kalae All Day

    Something to listen to while you riding along in the car, something to bump in the ride, sip something to it.

    This album is many things to many people. This is what Hiphop can be when pushed beyond comfortable parameters.  This 22 year old emcee and singer, from Harlem has created a unique artistic space for herself.  Hiphop has always been influenced by many genres and it is clear that Kalae All Day is too.  With sounds reminiscent of  E Badu, Pharcyde, Esterho, disco and the old boom bap.  Just the kind of thing a record company will fuck up.  Her freshman release entitled afromatikneohippierock* solemuzik has ten solid tracks filled with that goodie, each one an individual experience.  This album has been compared to Mos Def’s sophmore album, The New Danger in recognition of the genre blending.

    Having listened to alot of Hiphop in my day I can say without hesitation a fair number of independent emcees with strong verbal skills are plagued by weak production.  There is none of that here.  So allow me to shout out her executive producer, Princess Superstar for being, talented and gracious enough to provide tracks worthy of her lyrical finesse and individual voice.

    In addition to this having this hot album under her belt she is concurrently working on releasing a mixtape, material for her new album and a line of accessories, not only is her album many things to many people but she is too.

    Some things should not be encouraged en mass, misogyny is one of them.

    Testosterone is not a requirement to be an emcee, skill is.

    Womeninhiphop: The TENS part one

    Here’s you chance to get a glimpse of what the hiphop scene could look like.

    Check this link out over at The Well Versed (I just love the name).  They came out with this list last year.  The emcees listed offer varied perspectives and much needed balance to the genre.  Bless these women for that.  

    So next question that always comes up is: Yeah, but can they spit?  Check them out and report back.  Tell me what you think of the emcees selected.

    You know better ones?  Holla at me. Point me in the right direction people.  I won’t let you wander in the wilderness that is mainstream hiphop alone.  I’ll play the part of Moses. 

    Keep this shit rolling people.  FEEDBACK I say FEEDBACK.

    Rah Digga:This Ain’t No Lil Kid Rap

    This video from her album released in fall of last year entitled Classic.   Rah Digga goes in and shows the younger set how it should be done.  As always straight spitting.  Bow in the presence of royalty dammit.  If you haven’t copped it yet, take that ass to Amazon or Itunes baby.  

    Not to mention all you wanna be battle emcees.   She’s created an app just for you.  http://www.appalachianapps.com/corporate-home/straight-spittin-blackberry.php

    This app lets you practice the craft (rehearse), earn ranking (battle), create your own cypher (what’s good and pics), study pass performances (replay) and vote on whose straight spitting.

    You don’t really want it son.
