Kardinal Offishall - World on My Shoulders
Artist: Kardinal Offishall
Featuring: Saukrates
Producer: Rich Kidd
Album: We on Some Rich Kidd Volume 4: The Boling Point
Label: Black Stone Colleagues/GFMGG
In middle school I remember watching the video premiere of Kardinal Offishall’s Bakardi Slang. Needless to say, Canada’s original hip-hop ambassador has come a long way. Today, the T Dot native laces us with World on My Shoulders, a standout track from producer Rich Kidd’s new mixtape, We on Some Rich Kidd Vol. 4: The Boiling Point, which was recently released to the net. While the record doesn’t feature our neighboring country’s current favorite son, it does include contributions from fellow Canadians Saukrates, who spits a verse, and newcomer Richie Hennesey, who handles the chorus. Despite all of their best efforts, however, the real star of this North of the Border show is Rich Kidd himself, whose addictive boardwork is an interesting fusion of Northeast hip hop and island drums. The end result here is more than enough to make it onto my August playlist. Booth nation, will World on My Shoulders make it onto your next playlist?

Without a doubt the illest record on Rich Kidd's new mixtape. Usually I am not a fan of high energy guys like Kardinal and Soxx jumping on a record that features down-tempo production and a laid back chorus, but both artists know exactly what they're doing here.

I usually can't understand a thing when Kardinal Official is rappin', but he is really good on this one. The production is dope.

Not this is what I'm talking about. Kardinal's gone a more pop direction since he signed to Akon, but when he's just straight rhyming, there's not many better. Plus the beat's sick, and Sauk comes with a nice verse of his own. Damn good track.
