Kero One - What Am I Supposed to Do?
Artist: Kero One
Producer: Kero One
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: Plug Label
Kero One‘s Booth debut, featured way back in October 2010, found him taking a long, hard look at the Kinetic World around him as he chronicled his struggles to balance his desire for currency with his values and artistic vision. On What Am I Supposed to Do?, the lead video single off his next album, the Korean-American rhymesayer broadens his vision beyond his own hustle, painting a picture that’s simultaneously bleaker and more hopeful than on the aforementioned cut. Here, the San Francisco native showcases a production sensibility as smooth and self-assured as his mic presence, crafting a breezy, head-noddable beat (complete with languid guitar licks by Gyrefunk) to back him as he catalogs the social, economic and political ills pervading our society. And you’ve got to admire his thoroughness; how many other rappers could tackle American colonial genocide, the contemporary connection between greed, poverty and crime, and natural disasters in 16 short bars? On his guest hook, Suhn proposes a simple (yet challenging) solution to all of the above: love one another, and the rest will take care of itself. If this insightful jam leaves you craving more, you can expect plenty more food for thought on Kero’s yet-untitled forthcoming full-lengh, due out sometime this summer.

Real chill, laid back vibe. That starts the song off on the right foot. The visual matches that tempo well and from there is a pretty easy, enjoyable listen. I could hear the first Fergie-era BEP doing a joint like this. Ahh, memories.

I like Suhn's vocal work on the chorus and throughout the track a bit more than I liked Kero One's flow on the mic. Still a pretty cool track all around. True talk on this one...
