This is the start of many artist profiles. In these I’ll just be giving you the heads up on Hip Hop artists that are set to do big things in the next few months/years.
The first artist profile is about an upcoming group from North Carolina called Kooley High.
Kooley High consists of three MC’s; Charlie Smarts, Tab-One & Rapsody, producers Foolery & The Sinopsis and the DJ; DJ Ill Digitz.
They released an 8 track EP called The Summer Sessions in early 2008 to critical acclaim. The EP is filled with incredible soul sample filled production and even better rhymes, the EP(with guest production by 9th Wonder) showcases what this group is all about; fun filled but serious Hip Hop. These guys wouldn’t look out of place if you took them out of 2009 and placed them in 1993; surrounded by A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and The Pharcyde, they would easily hold their own ands show their diversity.
The track from Summer Sessions EP that really emphasizes their skill as rappers and producers is Too Late….
Albums:
Their first full length as a collective is due out in 2010 but in 2009, the MC’s have a number of solo projects in the works
