Today's feature, from the West Coast, is Kapone - "Tha Release"
Here's the link for the FREE DOWNLOAD
Right off the bat, the title track comes in to set the mood. A good first song is so important, to me. Kapone sets it off with a strong statement of what he's about - A hungry artist, ready to put it all on the line. The passion comes through.
Kapone has obviously done this before. His delivery and lyrics are on point, and the beats (prod. by Kapone) are great, and all a bit different. Aside from the skillful flow, he's got a good singing voice, too. Some of that style stands out on "Find A Way" and "They Don't Know" - my fave on this one. I'm also diggin' "Get Money", with an interesting set of sounds & a big beat.
The album ends with a cool cover of "Erotic City" by the legendary Prince & The Revolution, followed by a spoken outro from Kapone to remind you that what you just heard, was all him. But you'll already know that by then, because he makes the connection to the listener. This is one REAL album.
