Kidd Upstairs - Grimey!
Artist: Kidd Upstairs
Producer: (i.e)
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Unsigned
Best draw a bath before you listen to Kidd Upstairs’ latest feature; the record’s so Grimey! you’ll want to wash up afterward. In stark contrast to July’s Believe, which found the Los Angeles-by-way-of-Oakland emcee reflecting on his self-doubts as well as his lofty ambitions, this cut is all about that cocky sh*t. Cryptically-named beatsmith (i.e.) mans the mixing boards, pairing muscular brass chords with a repeated vocal sample as Kidd touts his razor-sharp flows, his animal magnetism and his fly fashion sense. Will the bravado he exhibits here prove as appealing as the more vulnerable vibe of his reader-acclaimed debut? As always, the decision rests with you. Kidd has yet to announce plans for a forthcoming project, but fans of this unsigned buzzmaker can keep it locked for the latest news and tunes.

 Kidd Upstairs doesn't yet have me sold. I dig the minimal, throwback production, but his on the mic efforts don't wow. And I like to be wowed. Little replay value, though, its obvious dude can spit.

I always liked how Kidd is steady pushin' boundaries with his sound, trying to make every track original. I'm digging it, Upstairs throw a middle finger to the basement. Keep it up!

DJZ, have you listened to any of his other stuff? I gotta say very little impresses me these days and there is allot of garbage being put out there, but I was pretty fired up most most every track this kidd put up. If you aren't hyped off any off his other tracks, than the kidd just isn't your style, and that's ok, cause I thing this dude is about to blow the f*%k up. This is a hot track.

I am a huge Kidd fan, but this is definitely not one of my favorite Kidd tracks. He shows that he is a lyrical genius on this, but i agree that the "replay appeal" is not really there. He is by far one of the most underrated and most talented artists/producers in the ENTIRE MUSIC INDUSTRY, but this track isn't one of his best. I prefer the style that he brings on his mixtapes: The Beverly Ill, Cloud Chatter, The Cities Tape, and DMNDS. That's what will make him go far, not this underground hip hop sound. Kidd Upstairs or fall off a roof.
