Kids These Days - Flashing Lights
Artist: Kids These Days
Producer: Kids These Days
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Unsigned
Those who think that kids these days are just a bunch of compulsive Tweeting, Justin Bieber loving clones needs to take a close listen to, well, Kids These Days. The Chicago ensemble of instrumentalists and vocalists has been making some major news since the release of their Clear Eyes video, and their latest release, Flashing Lights, should only earn them more acclaim. An interpolation of Kanye’s original track of the same name, the Kids’ version of Lights is fully live, driven primarily by a a driving drum and guitar line splashed with horns and keys. The result is an instrumental that’s plenty compelling on its own, but with group rapper Vic Mensa throwing down some high intensity lyrics as well, Flashing Lights becomes a full fledged musical journey. While this video is unattached to a larger projects, fans of KTD can cop their Hard Times EP on iTunes now and keep an eye out for the constantly touring crew to hit a city near you. If only more kids these days were like Kids These Days.

Not something id stick on repeat, but definately can appreciate the level of intricacy and natural sound of the full blown instrumental setup. Also enjoyed the bars from Vic Mensa, tho on inital listen it just didnt feel like everything fit, but more listens could change that.
