Kia Shine used to be Krispy, but now he’s back and hurtin’ em with his new styles. My New Styles (1st 48) is a far cry from the Tennessee-bred artist’s last single, because this time he strays from pretty-boy flashiness and delves into the signature Memphis grit that makes this single ride-worthy. The track, produced by Kia and Memphis’ Slice Tee, is a Guide to Being Killer-Fly, and the Memphis emcee explains how to kill it with his freshness. With the production offering a duality of strict harshness and laid-back coolness (thanks to several Beastie Boy samples), Shine’s new styles are refreshingly reminiscent of his rap rivals, Three 6 Mafia. Hoping to bring back Memphis rider music this summer, the self-proclaimed “Airplane Man” will drop his forthcoming The KUSH (K.rispy U.nderrated S.outhern H.ustler) mixtape and DVD, in August.
LOL. I can dig the Beastie Boy sample, but this track is not too good in my opinion. The production gets annoying and Kia Shine's flowing skills are absent. I'm bored. It gets a two for the producers going and getting that Beastie Boys sample. Other than that, it would've got 1 star.
Unfortunately, I think people are still playing W.O.W. in their head when they listen to this new joint. Frankly, this is 10x better. The BB samples absolutely make this track and Kia does not wrong at all. Solid for a mixtape cut peoples!
It’s funny how anyone can be a rapper these days… but you know what? I’d rather listen to this any day, before listenin to iDance, if you know what I mean, so I’ll be generous. This beat would sound better featuring Busta Rhymes, you know, with that low pitch “Touch it” flow. Kia’s performance is more like someone playin rappers (which is what far too many people do in the rap game nowadays)
Okay, I've got a question: What the hell was he thinking when he recorded this? Did he honestly think this would be a hit? I mean, he rhymed "CPR" with "star."
well seeing as I never hated on kia for any of his other joints, it's no surprise i got no problem with this track. Kia Shine is not bad, IMO. good song.
Personally i like WOW and Krispy better...this sounds like theres too much going on at once...and a Dallas rapper Big Tuck had a song featured on her called Not A Stain On Me with the same Bestie Boys sample and it was 10Xs better
