Some days we’re sent a plethora of bad, and I mean bad submissions. Sometimes it’s so bad, we, the HHLAT team almost think that it’s a joke, and it was sent to us for laughs. Hoho no. But sometimes our inbox/Twitter/Facebook is so full of pure hip-hop goodness that we really can’t keep track. Today is one of those days, and this video by Kb da Boss ft John Q & Sucoo is pure hip-hop goodness. It’s a remix of the Janet Jackson cover ”Til It’s Gone’, which in turn was a cover of a Joni Mitchell song (I really hope I didn’t have to tell you, and you already knew that. The dudes in this video know!). I love the video and the song in equal measure, it’s a straight for-the-homies-by-the-homies joint. It’s as if they all got together and decided they’d just hang out, make some music and have a good time. Now that’s hip-hop in a nutshell. All three MCs stand out in their own right, and manage to navigate the obstacle of not overshadowing each other, but compliment one another really well. If you’ve ever been in a relationship with a loon or someone who didn’t know how to treat you like a human, then you’ll love this track. Considering the content it doesn’t come off cliche or overly negative, if anything it’s a pretty optimistic song. The production was really on point, and as ever I can’t be mad at turntables being used properly.
We’ll be following the dudes in AMH and Sucoo in the future for sure.
For friends of Murs, Ant production (Atmosphere/Felt), Q-Tip, Common (the good stuff!).
