Kooley High - Sky View
Artist: Kooley High
Featuring: King Mez
Producer: DJ Prince
Album: Unreleased
Label: M.E.C.C.A.
With the DMV finally earning a place in the national hip-hop spotlight my pick for the next region to blow is N. Carolina. With cats like 9th Wonder setting the foundation, a new generation of N.C. emcees are set to take the state’s rep to another level, including the fresher than fresh Kooley High. Like the last time we heard from Kooley (the Booth-approved So Long), their new track Sky View features a predictably stellar verse from The Paraplegic King Mez, but equally responsible for the track’s smooth appeal is a coolly smoking beat from DJ Prince and, of course, the collective rhyme work of the Kooley crew. Other than the absence of rhymes from group member Rapsody, who’s one of my favorite new rappers, there’s hard to find much to complain about here, so I recommend you put up your tray table, lean back and just enjoy the View. Sky View didn’t make the final cut of Kooley High’s upcoming album Eastern Standard Time, and if this track isn’t good enough, we’re in for a hell of an album come July 27.

If a record like "Sky View" didn't make the cut for their new project, that says something about the quality of the impending Kooley High project. This is dynamic. Props to DJ Prince.

It's alright. Not something I would just listen to by choice though.

I'm a fan of nearly everything Kooley drops, and this is no different. It doesn't completely grab you, maybe the reason it didn't make the final cut, but the mellowed out vibe and better than you might realize rhymes mean this one's definitely gonna be in my headphones all day. Stoked to hear that EST when it drops.

The quirky beat is nice, and they hold it down on the verses. This track leads me to anticipate great things from that album.

I dont like tracks that start with adlibbing in the intro. It really does not give a good first impression. To me this sounds like another run of the mill mixtape track.
