Kali Raps - Don't Let Me Down
Producer: Ruwanga Samath
Album: On Schedule
Label: Showoff/St. Records
Right about now all the cuddling and kissing (and perhaps more…um…adult activities) that went down on Valentine’s Day feels like a year ago. Come February 15 couples are once again confronted with the cold hard reality of the difficulties of relationships, a topic up-and-comer Kali Raps knows only too well. On new single Don’t Let Me Down the L.A. emcee brings producer Ruwanga Samath on board to craft a beat that tiptoes the line between rap, rock and pop, putting hip-hop percussion under a sparse guitar line and filling synths. Further emphasizing the song’s cross-genre leaning is singer Greg Cahn (of Mind the Gap), who delivers a hook that will no doubt draw comparisons to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. But all of that is simply the icing for Kali’s cake raps as he lays down verse after verse of bars so passionate I find it hard to believe any woman would leave his side. Those down to keep up with Raps have a lot to look forward to: looks for Don’t Let Me Down to start earning spins on MTV Jams soon, followed by the release of his upcoming and currently unscheduled mixtape, On Schedule.

Kali has a nice little crossover jam on his hands. I had no idea what to expect here, but the end result was pleasing.

I agree with Z, this is a crossover record. I really dig it though, it can def appeal to the masses.

I don't like the way Kali Raps on this beat. Not a big fan of Greg Cahn singing on the hook either. The beat is kinda smooth.

Never heard of Kali before but I hope to hear more from him soon. This is a nice jam here, soft beat with a with a slower style rap. Then you got Greg Cahn bringing it all together with that sick hook. Keep it commin;
