Rap records that draw upon flight/altitude metaphors tend to fall into one of two categories: “I’m flying because I’m fly.” or “I’m flying because I just hit a blunt the size of Texas.” As you may have gathered from the Hendrix-referencing title, Booth newcomer Badio‘s Kiss the Sky falls squarely into the latter category. That’s not to say, however, that this is your typical weed record – it’s less a dreamy tribute to the cheeba than an object lesson in the dangers of soul-searching while high. Over Trakgirl‘s spacey string samples, the Tucson representative takes a THC-assisted look in the mirror, dropping introspective insights that range from humorously self-effacing (“I’m paranoid, like a fat kid with a popsicle.”) to the straight-up sad: (“I let my mom down too much / I hate the fact I gotta lie to her when she ask me how I’m doin’”). This blunted journey through Badio’s psyche may not be entirely uplifting but heads with a taste for blunted creativity won’t regret tagging along for the ride – if you fall into that category, you’ll want to stay tuned for details on Badio’s Winter EP, due out sometime in 2011.

Great first introduction to Badio here in our Booth. Excellent, dreamy production by Trakgirl and Badio's vocal tone and musical mood are both fittingly appropriate and intriguing. I'd like to hear more from both the emcee and producer, together and separate.

Not sure how i feel about the production....something about it just gets annoying and repetitive....or maybe its just me. Badio has a nice flow here tho.

Yo, that beat's crazy. Dope emcees, jump on this one.
Ironically given the weed them, I would have liked to have heard Baido relax his flow a bit, you've got to flow with this beat not put it in a headlock, but there's still plenty of dopeness to go around here. I'll listen to more from Baido anytime.
