Naledge - Star Struck ft. Rus Soul
Artist: Naledge
Producer: Sa-Ra Creative Partners
Album: Chicago Picasso
Label: Duck Down/Major League/E1
One of the hallmarks of Cubism is the use of multiple, overlapping perspectives, intended to give viewers a greater sense of the object as a whole (yep, I took an art history course once upon a time);with his forthcoming Chicago Picasso mix CD, named after the movement’s biggest name, Naledge aims to depict his hometown’s music scene in a similar manner; in his own words, “I wanted to show all aspects of Chicago, not just one sound. For a long time we’ve seen a specific side of Chicago Rap, but this mix CD provides new perspective.” On this track, the Kidz In The Hall emcee takes listeners back to his city’s soulful roots. Sa-Ra Productions’ mellow sample work and Rus Soul‘s passionate hook and backing vocals set an old-school, feel-good mood as the emcee addresses a lady who’s got him Star Struck, spitting verses so packed with memorable come-ons that I couldn’t decide which line to quote. If this cut’s got you curious to see the whole picture, grab a copy of Picasso when it hits stores June 30th.

This is fresh right here. The production is really mellow and chill. Naledge's flow on this is dope and the hook is smooth as well! Banger!

Kidz In The Hall remain as one of my favorite groups, so you know I'ma love this track. Naledge has a hot flow on here (kind of similar to Jay-Z?) over that beat.

I really like a lot of Chicago rap, and this was no exception. Nothin spectacular, but Naledge kept it fresh on this one and the production is nice and laid back.
