When I first started taking hip-hop seriously in the summer of ‘03, almost every album went platinum, sports jerseys were the fasion trend du jour, and Ja Rule was arguably the most popular MC in the game. Sometimes, such change is good—other times, as Borat would say, “not so much”. On the newest buzz single off his debut album, , Izza Kizza reflects on a few changes of the latter type, listing gay marriage, high gas prices, and the swine flu as a few signs of the times that have him Runnin’. Ethered-MC-turned-successful-producer Kwame backs the track with chopped samples from Otis Redding’s classic rendition of Change Gonna Come, letting the soul giant talk to ‘em in lieu of a third verse. We can only hope this track will have label execs at Decon Runnin’ to give Izza some much-needed promotion for the February 10 release of his Saturday Morning LP.

Izza will forever remain an emcee who attracts fans to his just left of center style (who can appreciate him for who he is), but this is a slightly different approach with Kwame behind the boards. I am a fan of the flange effect on the chorus and the random trumpet blasts.

Oh this record goes hard. Kwame killed this beat. Kizz got that 3/4 flow. Love it.

In all earnesty, Izza's delivery/sound might require some getting used to for virgin ears ... but by now I've gotten used to his creative, boundless hip hop style. And I like it, all elements put together nicely, bizzare but interesting while saying something.

From the start you have the beat that speaks to you. A sign greatness. Of course when you have a producer like Kwame what can you expect. Then you hear the lyrics an man what can i say the voice and the music go great together. Love it going to download when I get off work. Everyone drive down to your local Smoothie King and get yourself a nice Smoothie promote the bussiness add Liquer and BAM a daiquiri. Love It Exceeds a Banger
