Artist: KR Album: i$0Lyf3

Every once in a while I get into these bad lulls when trying to find new hip-hop music. It can be extremely difficult to locate true hip-hop artists. As I have said in previous posts, I usually used datpiff.com to try and find new music, since they are free mixtapes. But it can be difficult to locate true hip-hop here as well, but sometimes you can get lucky.

My luck found me KR. Like the smell of a new car, KR is a fantastic. An artist that would get passed over on a website like DatPiff in a heartbeat, simply because its not the generic type of hip-hop/rap.

The production and samples on  i$0Lyf3 make the  beats exactly what I have been looking for in an artist for a while. Mixed samples from 50's jazz and classical music make for a great chilled mood.It makes it feel like thought and care went into making the album. Any artist that actually looks for musical quality can be rarity and KR shows that he does want to make art and not just money.

Lyrically, KR is witty and clever. There are no generic lyrics to be found here. The rhythms are well thought out, with great meaning. Almost like poetry in motion, which is can be hard find now. Even with the best underground hip-hop artists, they tend to stray to the generic lyrics about money, power, and girls. KR stays the course, telling stories about life and love.

A must listen for those who really are looking for the true hip-hop artists in the world.
