Kris Kasanova - Ready to Die
Artist: Kris Kasanova
Producer: Clyde & Harry
Album: War Paint
Label: EMPIRE
There are heavy tracks that drop every half hour on the net, and then there are tracks like Ready to Die. On his sophomore feature at the Booth, Kris Kasanova brings a new persona to the table, this time tapping into a somber world where getting weighed down by life is an easy task (“One life to live don’t waste it, I can hear the music time to face it”). Clyde & Harry heighten the vibe with a production that is reminiscent of emotional 808’s boardwork, which catches the tone of this piece perfectly. While Kasanova’s Caviar Dreams was met with mixed reviews, listeners should take note of Ready to Die and hit the ground running. An album with a title like War Paint has some pretty heavy promises implied right from the get-go, and from what I’ve heard so far it will not disappoint. Be on the lookout for the forthcoming LP (there no release date as of yet) and keep it locked to the Booth for details.

I usually hate when artists use that "whisper" approach while rhyming, but Kris is telling a story here and it really adds to the overall effect of the song. Vocally, he sounds a little like Young Chris, but comparisons aside I really enjoyed this.

He did well on the track, I always think of B.I.G. whenever I hear "Ready to Die", this ain't B.I.G...

This wasn't a bad first feature. I loved the verses and production. Although this wasn't perfect, it does in fact make for a good listen.
