MPW:DOM KENNEDY

Last Year, there was this huge occurrence happening in Los Angeles and in Hip Hop. You could almost call it a movement the way it just came about. Out of nowhere, you've got all these acts coming out of LA and bringing back hip hop to the west coast. A year or two before this, LA hip hop was really limited to Stones Throw Records run with Madlib, OH NO, J Dilla(originally from Detroit) M.E.D. and other artist like Giant Panda, People Under the Stairs, Murs, and Dilated Peoples but the sound between them and new up and comers like Blu, Pac Div, J*Davey,Diz Graban Exile, were kind of different. One Person that stood out to me was/is Dom Kennedy(besides Blu of course)Charismatic, Patterns that most rappers dont use, smooth, original. He had a mixtape out last year called 25th hour which included the new summer anthem "Watermelon Sundae" but this year, he took it up a couple notches with his mixtape/album "Future Streets/Drug Sounds" and I have to say its fucking ill. Its definitely some LA shit, like it has that sound to it. Already in my top ten hip hop albums this year, who knows, it my be in my top ten of the year period but we will see. Unless you have like a program that opens "rar" files, I would say to stay away form downloading it because is hard as shit to open. But here's one of my favs from the album and Watermelon Sundae =]
