Kooley High - Ya Times Up
Artist: Kooley High
Producer: Foolery
Album: Eastern Standard Time
Label: M.E.C.C.A.
Kooley High‘s last feature, unreleased cut Sky View, left many in the Booth convinced that, if such a high-quality track was left on the cutting room floor, what did make the cut must be nothing short of legendary. Today, we get the first indicator of whether Eastern Standard Time will live up to those expectations. Newly-leaked track Ya Times Up finds the North Carolina natives showcasing a more chilled-out side of their sound than on the aforementioned outtake; backed by group member Foolery‘s head-nodding, piano-led boardwork (complete with cuts by DJ Ill Digits on the hook), the crew deliver bars packed with the self-assured, allusive wit fans have come to know and love – in fact, the only lyrical misstep I heard was the use of “Chris Kattan” and “funny” in the same sentence. I’ma give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they meant “funny” in the “peculiar” sense. Nitpicks aside, this track should only get fans more excited for the July 27, release of Kooley High’s latest set. In addition, fans in the NYC area will be able to catch Kooley High (along with Phil Adé, King Mez and more) at a Booth-sponsored showcase to be held at S.O.B.‘s on the 28th.

As I've written before, there's in an incredible amount of dope hip-hop coming out of North Carolina right now. In addition to the older guys like 9th Wonder the new generation (J. Cole, King Mez, Kooley High) are absolutely killing it. The phrase gets used too much, but this is that "real" hip-hop. Wack rappers, ya times up.

This is really raw stuff here. But if we were in the 90's, this would be average, but now we in the watered down milenium this is a banger for those who don't know about 90's music anyway.
