‘Fatherhood’ is both the final video from ‘The Kinesis Thesis Vol. III’ and a preview to London emcee K.I.N.E.T.I.K’s upcoming album with KUROISOUL titled, ‘Hip Hop Is Forever’, due for release on Bass & Format later this year.
Mainly inspired by recent events in his family life, Fatherhood looks at the potentially devastating effects that absent/inactive fathers can have on the lives of their children and the family unit as a whole.
K.I.N.E.T.I.C said about the song ” I wanted to channel the spirit of songs that share a similar sentiment such as Dear Mama by 2 Pac, Retrospect For Life by Common and Be A Father To Your Child by Edo G. All of these songs contain powerful messages and it is my hope that Fatherhood further reinforces the fact that as men, we need to teach our sons how to be good men and teach our daughters how to pick a good man.”
The video was directed by Nitevisions and features acting performances from Cherelle Morris, Enakhe Ogumah and their beautiful daughter, Sanai.

For those of you that have been following this series with us at HHL&T,Here is the final episode of “The World Is Watching” a six-episode basketball documentary directed by Rik Cordero and narrated by legendary New York City filmmaker Spike Lee. The film features prominent teenage athletes competing in a New York City Basketball tournament called Battle of the Boroughs.
It features the best up and coming basketball players in New York City including rising star Maurice Harkless, currently playing for the Orlando Magic. As the players push their bodies to the limit, they must also live up to the expectations of their coaches, their families and their boroughs.

You know we’re always honest over here at HHLAT, which is why when we get sent baaaaddd music we don’t even let it go further than our inbox. That’s right we’re always looking after YOUR interests, aren’t we just so nice? With all of that in to consideration, we can still appreciate when a group/MC/DJ/producer is good, even when they’ve mixed their skills with something that doesn’t properly showcase their talents.
This next track is a good example. Both Sincerely Yours, and Neak and Slot-A are talented MCs, and have a whole heap of interesting flow, and know how to tell a good narrative, sadly the production just doesn’t fit them. No hate to the producer whatsoever because I know they never get enough recognition, I’d just like to hear less triple snares and synths on this one. That being said, this song is still really good and needs a full listen as there are some nice production cuts and breaks that go nicely, not to mention the two MCs obvious talents.

Yes, yes we need more Southern American rappers making noise.
A really nicely mixed release from Camacho, with beats comprised mostly of 90’s cuts and samples. It’s done really well, and Camacho has a lot of flow.
Also is it just me that finds it funny that everyone’s ‘dressed up’ like they’re from the 90’s, when everyone does that nowadays anyway? Maybe we’ve all just run out of fashion ideas. Either way the track is still very sick, and I’m a fan.
