Kap Kallous - Dollar and a Dream
Artist: Kap Kallous
Producer: Optiks
Album: I Should Have Kept My Mouth Shut
Label: Unsigned
On his Booth debut, featured early this month, Orlando rhymesayer Kap Kallous emphasized that success always comes at a cost, shaking his head at those who expect fame and fortune simply to fall into their laps. But don’t get it twisted; while Nothing[’]s Free in the dog-eat-dog world of hip-hop, an artist willing to put forth the necessary perspiration can still pull himself up by his bootstraps with nothing but A Dollar and a Dream. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, Kap’s latest mixtape cut sees the hardworking emcee offering a considerably more idealistic angle on the game than on the aforementioned joint; over Optiks’ chill, street-ready yet robotically sinuous beat, he celebrates the distance he’s covered thus far. Not that he’s even remotely close to satisfied. After spitting “I ain’t happy, I’m hungry,” he assures us that “Everything ain’t even enough.” Needless to say, Kallous exhibits the kind of drive sure to take him far in the game – but are you digging his style? If you’re leaning towards the affirmative, odds are you’ll find plenty more to like on I Should Have Kept My Mouth Shut, scheduled to drop March 29.

The whole "all I need is a dollar and a dream" angle has been played out over the years, most recently by J. Cole. Kallous' version is energetic, impassioned rhymes over moving production - enough to intrigue, but maybe not to follow? We'll see.

As a representative of the hip-hop battle scene, Kap Kallous aims to take down the stereotype that battle emcees can't make music. He goes hard in this track and proves that those in the battle scene can in fact rip the mic in a different arena

The deliveries are on point and content is really good. Production work could be a bit better with a higher grade of drums but, I say that about most music we hear today. Overall, excellent track.

Man, Aussie's feeling tough today. But I appreciate the honesty.
Can't say I'm blown away, but this is quality hip-hop - it's got that real west coast vibe. Also digging how it walks the line between the street and radio audiences - I'm down to hear new Kap anytime.
