For those who don’t know, you can purchase Kidz In The Hall’s “The In Crowd” through iTunes now, and best of all it’s mad cheap! $9.99, how can you not afford that? I’ve been listening to it thoroughly, non-stop and I’m gonna go on a limb and say this has all the right elements of being a contender for “Best Hip-Hop Album of 2008.” Real talk, Naledge handles his own on the m-i-c, Double-O comes through and supplies nothing but top notch beats, and the features on here give it the stamp of approval. You got Phonte (Little Brother), Skyzoo, Black Milk, Guilty Simpson, Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes), Sean Price & Buckshot. My favorite joint off this LP is “Let Your Hair Down” with Skyzoo, who murks it.
“I can see it all ma, cherry red Range and // D&G shades and glitter on your arm, ma // Them are the moods when you kick it with them dudes // So when you ready to kick it, you can kick away the mood and // Get in the club and we can burn one and // Let your hair down ma, get your perm on.”
Also, Driving Down The Block is now #6 on MTV’s TRL (in less than 5 days), pushing aside artists such as Chris Brown, Danity Kane, & Panic At The Disco. Let’s help REAL Hip-Hop get to the number 1 slot, vote now! Full album review coming by week’s end, keep it locked.
