Mixtape: Unknown
Producer: Trill Gates
Killa Kyleon dropped this joint just before the end of February on some real shit, trying to bless you with some knowledge.Jordan Davis’ image is used for the cover art, and each verse is bookended with Malcolm X quotes from his speech on the black revolution, and it all ends with John Turturro's racist tirade from Do The Right Thing. So yeah, you should know what you’re getting into.
As a rapper, Killa does seething so well; he’s one of the angriest artists in Texas, as well as one of the best. He drops his views on Chicago, education, glorified strippers, and the state of Black America. Considering how disposable black life is in this country and how too many stupid motherfuckers want to pretend that we live in some kind of bullshit post-racist fantasyland, where we can all ignore the institutionalized racism that is perpetuated every fucking day in this country, this is some welcome shit, because there isn’t enough rap music with a goddamn point.
It’s the argument that old heads are always pushing when they complain about trap raps and the lack of depth in lyrics today. It’s not like songs like this don’t exist. But they don’t get the push that another useless balling out of control joint would. We need more Kyleons and Killer Mikes in the game. It’s one of those things Pimp C talked about, we need balance and as Kyleon repeatedly brings up, you must have forgot.
