Kap Kallous - Nothings Free
Artist: Kap Kallous
Producer: Optiks & Seandammit
Album: I Should Have Kept My Mouth Shut
Label: Unsigned
For an artist seeking to gain a foothold in the notoriously competitive music game, Nothings Free; in fact, rappers are increasingly expected to give away new material in hopes of someday making a profit off their efforts. Booth newcomer Kap Kallous, for one, holds no illusions about success coming easy; as he explains on his latest single, he’s prepared to work harder and smarter than his peers in order to stand out from the pack. With Optiks and Seandammit‘s slick, electric guitar-infused grooves bumping in the background, the Orlando native fills listeners in on just how much work he’s been putting in, revealing that, when he’s not on his musical grind, he’s toiling away at a day job. Of course, he prefers that the precise details of his double life stay on the down-low: “I got a nine-to-five, but I keep it low-key / Clark Kentin’ wit a polo, homie you don’t know me.” Kap’s drive and energy are beyond question, but has he got the skills to pay the bills? As always, the final call is yours. If you’re leaning towards the affirmative, more quality tuneage awaits on I Should Have Kept My Mouth Shut, scheduled to drop March 29.

Welcome to the Booth, Mr. Kap. (Moving forward, I decided I am going to start welcoming our first time Booth feature artists). "Nothings Free" is a hit or miss type of song (for most listeners). Either they'll dig his raw vocals and alternative-edge or they won't. I haven't heard enough of his work to know if this is the norm or not, but it has an audience.

I like the energy in this song, but other than that it's not doing too much for me. The rhyme's are pretty smooth, but that guitar in there isn't really my style.

I like the guitar riff and the vocal samples in the back. It differentiates from the rest of the pack musically and Kap Kallous has that "in-your-face" delivery that makes it go.
The video for this joint is on point too. |

Appreciate the feedback so far. Dope to see the progression this song has been through since day one.
Like Z said, you're either going to love Kap or hate him, and that's kind of the point. He definitely did his thing on this one. Oh, and not to nitpick, but there's not a single guitar on this joint. But I understand how people might think that. |

A consistent quick draw flow has catapulted this FL native to the national platform. Keep your ears open and your mouth shut, Kallous has got plenty to say and some fantastic production to help him get his point across.
