Kids These Days - Bud Biliken

Producer: Kids These Days

Label: Unsigned

Last heard reworking Kanye West‘s Flashing Lights on a July promo cut of the same title, Windy City crew Kids These Days take inspiration from another local institution on the latest song release off their forthcoming full-length: Bud Billiken, a fictional character famous for lending his name to Southside Chicago’s annual Bud Billiken Day Parade and Picnic, the United States’ largest and oldest African American parade. The record itself , however, is more concerned with kush than local color. Emcee Vic Mensa delivers rapid-fire bars detailing his prolific smoking habits before stepping out of the way for the explosive instrumental climax—which includes an unexpected but dope brass-band rendition of Radiohead’s breakout single, Creep. Kids These Days’ Traphouse Rock LP is scheduled for release next Tuesday, October 30, but our readers can get a sneak peek starting Monday, when the project hits The DJBooth for free streaming.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on November 5, 2012

JKL11293 Tastemaker Total Ratings: 877	Rating: JKL11293's Top Rated Songs Really nice change of scenery on this one.I agree with djblaze on this, the live instruments are dope! They bring a whole new feeling to the song. The guitar solo is dope at the end! Not really sure if its a solo, but the guy shreds it. Really dope chorus and flow on this.

lisae93 DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 657	Rating: lisae93's Top Rated Songs I love the sax and tunes in the chorus and through the 2nd half of the song. Surprisingly I kind of tuned out the actual artist but they were pretty good too. I like how the style/genre seemed to change throughout the song
