Only 5 days to go until Detroit’s Kid Vishis releases his debut album “Timing is Everything” on Tuesday the 22nd July.
It includes production by Mr Porter, Chase Moore, Nemisis and Nick Zervos, and will be available on digital and physical CD formats internationally. It can already be pre-ordered on iTunes and Amazon, and autographed copies can be ordered from the label Seven 13 Entertainment at www.seven13ent.com
Earlier this week he released his new official video for “Talk Behind My Back” on youtube. Produced by Chase Moore from Hippie Sabotage, it features guest appearances from his brother Royce da 5’9″ and Marvwon.
As some territories bar access to overseas Youtube channels, it has just been uploaded to Vimeo today
Look out for more international media coverage on the album coming in the next few weeks, and meantime keep up to date with him on twitter @KidVishis and the label @Seven13Music

West coast Emcee Matt Maddox, now based in America’s Mid West, released his sophomore album “Righteous Fury” on 25th February, and took time out recently to speak with British online publication Flavour Magazine.
Contributor Delphina Scott spoke with him about the new album and the recording process in the studio, his thoughts on artists’ growth and development, his views on the recent debate on whether “Hip Hop is degrading society” and the clear definition between the specific genre and others, self sufficiency in the human condition, the public’s backing of buying artist releases and what factors within hip hop he would change today.
Look out for Matt hitting Europe in the early autumn at various clubs and festivals. The album which includes features from Tragedy Khadafi, King Magnetic, Adlib, Burke the Jurke and Reef the Lost Cauze, and production by Sicknature of The Snowgoons, Vanderslice, C Lance of Jedi Mind Tricks, Nemesis, Skammadix, Sultan Mir, Engineer and the UK’s Edd Bundy is available from international online stores in digital and CD format.
These include iTunes, Amazon, UGHH.com, CD Universe, Barnes & Noble, HMV and many more
Released through the partnership of Red Phone Records & Seven 13 Music, here is his track “Street Art” featuring Tragedy Khadafi

There are a few Youtube channels set up as review platforms for hip hop & rap albums, some providing more detailed coverage than others. The Underground Vault based in Canada is one which does go more in depth with their reviews, having clearly taken their time to listen through an album on more than one occasion and then provide a very well explained formed opinion, usually lasting 10 – 15 minutes
Such a review was published last night for the new Matt Maddox album “Righteous Fury” which releases tomorrow, 25th February on Red Phone Records / Seven 13 Music.
It’s a well rounded and thoughtful appraisal, check it out
