Kardinal Offishall - Kill Shot
Artist: Kardinal Offishall
Producer: Nottz
Album: A.M.T.R.I.M (Allow Me To Re-Introduce Myself)
Label: Black Stone Colleagues/GFMGG
Don’t call it a comeback, he’s been here for years. After a hiatus from our pages following the 2011 release of Ol Time Killin Part II (Anywhere), Kardinal Offishall is back and ready to knock you and your mama out with new release, Kill Shot. The Toronto veteran’s (“not a”) comeback comes fueled by producer Nottz, who here goes back to the basics, combining a click-shot beat that would have sounded at home on Get Rich or Die Tryin with some spacey synths and occasional strings. Once again showcasing a lyricism that exceeds the expected, Kadrinal forgoes the aggressive formula most emcees would undoubtedly use on a beat like this and instead speaks on the complexities, and sometimes necessities, of violence: “I understand T.I.’s predicament / n**gas don’t think when they need money for rent / and the jobs ain’t hiring.” No doubt about it, it’s good to hear Offishall killing the mic once again, and I’ve got no doubt that more rap homicide awaits on he and Nottz’ collaborative, heavily acronymistic A.M.T.R.I.M (Allow Me To Re-Introduce Myself), hopefully arriving sooner rather than later.

Hopefully the release of this new Kardi record means that he is back for good and that we should expect equally dope music in the weeks and months to come. This drop a record and disappear routine he has been following can only last so long.

Kardinal Offishall has a nice flow on this one. This is definitely worth a few listens and an add to the MP3 player. Good work.

The beat is really simplistic and kinda dull, but it is nice to finally see Kardinal's name in the featured songs.

Have to admit it's not my favorite Nottz beat ever, but it's hot, the lyrics are deep, and Kardinal always delivers.
