Rich Kid Sound System - Sonnet 27
Artist: Rich Kid Sound System
Producer: W0LFC0AT
Album: Death of a Frat Rapper
Label: Unsigned
If you took high-school English, there’s a good chance that, at one point or another, you’ve found yourself hunched over over a Shakespeare text at 11:45 PM, struggling to translate the Bard’s much-vaunted poetry into English. I mean, it’s already English but… real English. That’s when, if you’re smart, you turn to one of those No Fear guides, which feature the original text opposite an ordinary-language summary. On their latest mixtape leak, South Florida’s Rich Kid Sound System undertake a similar project, reimagining Bill’s Sonnet 27 in a format that’ll resonate with modern-day hip-hop-lovers. Over W0LFC0AT‘s breezy, bell-laced boardwork, crewmates Q, Dan and Leo paraphrase the poem from the perspective of up-and-coming artists on tour, separated from their respective loves; even when they lay down to sleep, their minds are still hard at work, straining to bridge the distance between them and the people they’ve left behind. Touching, huh? This unusually literary summer jam can be found on Rich Kid Sound System’s Death of a Frat Rapper street album, currently suffering delays as the project is being reworked—keep it locked for further details!

Amazing.... thats all that sums up this song. And for some reason I thought of Outasight when i heard this track. Anyways... this song has everything. Great lyrics, great production, overall catchy. Easy 4.5 but to do the classics justice i can't round up.

Super catchy, very easy listen (both on the ears and the brain), and worthy of a repeat listen. The song, for those who have not heard their work before, will probably offer up intrigue as well. This mixtape is shaping up to be quite good.

SImple, smooth summer track. Not a whole lot of complexities to this song. It is pretty simple and an easy, feel good listen.
