Red Pill x Hir-O - The Kick
Artist: Red Pill x Hir-O
Producer: Hir-O
Album: The Kick
Label: Fat Beats/BLAT! Pack
“You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” For those not hip to the sci-fi game, that is a line from The Matrix; it is also where producer Hir-O’s rapping partner, Red Pill, gets his name. Like the pill in The Matrix pill, if you consume Red’s rhymes there is no going back to the world you once knew, filled with meaningless, apathetic hip-hop. Making their Booth debut with title track The Kick, Pill, backed by his beat-making buddy’s crashing, snare-laden boardwork, dons an tenacious, energetic flow validating their stalwart refusal to be defined by the naysayers and those who are not down with the pair’s aggressive style. For more from these hungry Booth newcomers you can purchase their latest album The Kick, out now.

Sick flip of the sample. Goes in a completely different direction than Roc Boys.

Love how Hir-O managed to flip a sample I've heard that much in a way that I'd never heard it before. Red Pill snapped lyrically, too. Definitely one of the album's highlights.

This track sets the perfect tone for the album. These two are next up for real! It's good to see young, independent talent out here doing their thing and getting success.

Is there a better producer/emcee tandem in the midwest right now? Red Pill spit from the heart on this, and that's really what makes it so great. The Kick is an early aoty contender too. Believe that
