tabi Bonney - Rich Kids
Artist: tabi Bonney
Producer: Ski & Apple Juice Kid
Album: dope EP
Label: BluRoc/EMI
Most artists are products of their environments, and make music that follows regional trends. But what do you get when a native of the African nation of Togo splits his time between Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.? How about emcee tabi Bonney, who is completely different from anything you’ve ever heard. On his new street single, Rich Kids, tabi adds a little reggae into his rhymes, spitting lyrical gems like “I get money like a schoolyard bully.” Produced by North Carolina natives Ski (best known for his work on Jay-Z‘s classic debut, Reasonable Doubt), and Apple Juice Kid (see Clocks in ATL), Rich Kids should get a positive response from anyone who enjoys laid-back lyricism. tabi’s new EP, dope, is set to be released on Inauguration Day (January 20).

I liked the production vibe. Tabi is pretty eclectic and nice with it. I wouldn't mind playing this in the background while I'm working or something. I can throw it in rotation. I call this good background ambiance.

While I sift through miles of Email and complaints from other members about sometimes hateful and inappropriate comments on the site, Tabi is the perfect remedy.
Rich Kids has a nice Jamaican vibe - Jazmine Sullivan anyone? As DJFetishP pointed out, Tabi has mad talent. This is just a buzz record for his EP. |

I like his slow-paced rhymes and the jamaicain feel. This is some real chill back music. Good production. In rotation i can give this a play or two

LAMELEON - that green tea you sip on? Your man, Z, is a HUGE fan of green tea (and yes, I referred to myself in third person - haha).
