Krondon - Incline [Premiere]
Producer: Khrysis
Album: Let Em Live
Label: Blacksmith Music
Devoted fans of Strong Arm Steady Gang emcee Krondon (previously heard flying solo on Eyes on Me) may have already downloaded their copies of the West Coast flame-spitter’s latest mixtape. Those who choose to cop the forthcoming album version on iTunes, however, will get a little something extra in the bargain – namely, bonus cut Incline. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, this slow-rolling track finds Krondon spitting over the handclap percussion and queasy synths of beatsmith Khrysis, trashing the insufficiently-real and waxing poetic about his own mic skills in bars loaded with vivid imagery and internal rhyme “Modest and anonymous, I promise Krondon’ll honestly demolish y’all rappers…” Digging this street-certified head-nodder? As mentioned above, Krondon’s Let Em Live is available now in mixtape form, and those so Inclined will be able to pick up the project, complete with this bonus cut, on iTunes next Tuesday, May 25.

When I connected with Krondon two weeks ago, after hearing about the re-release of his "Let Em Live" project, I told him we'd love to feature something new off the project. "Incline" is the result of our conversation (oh, and a forthcoming freestyle for our Series). The Khrysis beat is chilling and Kron's vocals match it perfectly.
If you are preoccupied online while listening you might find the record to be a bit boring, but if you actually listen to what the west coaster says there is plenty here to like.

The beat is grimy. Not a big fan of the spoken lyrics. Too boring.

Kron's vocals are the strong point of this song. Yet I feel the beat is pretty annoying, good premiere but I'm interested on the upcoming freestyle before I judge this guy. Rotation song I suppose.

I wasn't ever really a big fan of Krondon but I am of Khrisis' production (which is what made me click play). The production was the highlight as I expected. Krondon fits the record but for whatever reason, it did not keep me. I can't find my self playing this more than once or twice at most. Not to say that Krondon is wack but something about this record lacks replay value.

Guy's voice is really complimented nice by the production. As far as his verses go, I'll pass. Krondon had some pretty strong lyrics, but the production really started making me aggravated after the first minute. Probably wouldn't listen to this again, but I am "Inclined" to say that I would like to hear more from Krondon.

Kron definitely has a different sound, and sounds much different from his earlier work. The beat does compliment his style well, but I'm anxious to hear more.
If you're not familiar with Krondon go check out 1:30 into this clip from a Wake Up Show Freestyle (Volume 7 on CD). And yes, his grimey sound matches his appearance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fibfK4qMKoA The vid also features Ras Kass, a feature on the Booth a week or so ago. |

This production too boring for my liking, though Krondon has the lyrics to make up for it, however I'm sure this could NOT grow on me so my ratings pretty generous.

L.A. stand up! Strong Arm Steady is one of the most underrated crews in the game, and Kron's a big reason for their sickness. If you don't like that real hip-hop feel free to keep moving, but the rest of us are banging this in our headphones.
