As promised, I will be writing sporadically, and I do mean that in the true sense of the word, like, before lunch, on a Monday, in the margin of an excel spreadsheet. In any event, I'm ranting today in defense of a recent hip hop album, School Was My Hustle by Kidz in the Hall.
The critics have really given these guys a hard way to go (rather unfairly I might add). Here's the skinny: the group has two members-- Naledge, the poignant lyricist and Double O, a gifted beat-maker. This new duo met in class at the University of Pennsylvania (yeah, I said it) and have been making good music ever since.
Expect an Ivy League meets Chi-town sound with a New York state of mind. Slightly cocky but very introspective, this album is everything you could hope for from a Freshman act. "Wheelz Fall Off," a mellow joint reminiscent of "93 Til Infinity" is the group's first real single and a notable song, period. Check it out here at http://www.myspace.com/kidzinthehall
