Kyle Lucas - The New Light
Artist: Kyle Lucas
Featuring: Grynch
Producer: Captain Midnite
Album: I Brought Dead Flowers to a FUNeral
Label: Purple Ribbon Records
Though my fellow Minne-ap natives will take every opportunity to tout the beautiful summers that make up for the Twin Cities’ bitterly cold winter months, I have to say that the season thus far’s been a little underwhelming. If you, too, need a little aural sunshine to get you through those cloudy days, you’re in luck—on his first feature, up-and-coming emcee Kyle Lucas, aims to raise readers’ spirits by bringing a New Light to the Booth. Though the Marrietta, Georgia rapper (also the frontman of alt-hop group Vonnegutt) describes this record as “that cliché rap posse cut thing,” what he and his crew bring to the table is nothing but fresh. Captain Midnite‘s nostalgically cheery boardwork, complete with a sampled hook (anyone know where it’s from?), sets the mood for Lucas’ upbeat, braggadocio-laced lyricism, as well as some equally exuberant bars from fellow underground emcees Sol and Grynch. If you’re looking for an easygoing jam with a feel-good, throwback vibe, you could hardly do better than The New Light, and fans can find plenty more radiant jams on his and Captain Midnite’s recently-released I Brought Dead Flowers to a FUNeral EP.

Yup, LeWy is spot on. The overall ebb and flow of this record is enjoyable. After one listen I wanted to hear more... and I did, haha.

All three artists bring theirs in spades, making this a short but top notch introduction to some fine indie talent ... Rotation.

The production sets a great mood for the track, and what is that, a recorder? It sounds more like that or some type of indigenous Latin-american flute. The first verse was pretty mellow, but decent. I was more impressed by the following two verses which featured a lil more energy. The sample works well, too...
