East coast based online Premiere HipHop are well known to be connoisseurs of all hip hop which draws from the best traditions of meaningful lyricism and wordplay combined with superior production

They are the latest to endorse the debut album “Timing is Everything” by Detroit MC Kid Vishis. The review by the publication’s Victorious Allah focuses on the rhyme skills which have been honed over the past 10 years via a series of mixtapes and live performances around the world. Perhaps expected as the younger brother of Royce da 5’9″, but Vishis is laying down his own marker in the rap world, and a name to watch for over the coming years as the review summarizes:

“The whole album is a battle rapper gem with builds against the wack and the fake. The Kid is not to pass by. He’s ready and letting his thoughts and pen fly, letting us know that timing just might be everything.”

In what was an enthusiastic & fun exchange of views, the pair spoke about his writing process….and the key role Fiji Water, Monster Energy Drink & chicken plays in the pre-studio process!….the construction of the album and reasons for working with a core group of producers this time around, the thinking behind the album’s title and how it represents where he feels he is as an MC now.

They also discussed how the influence of not only Royce da 5’9″ but all 3 of his brothers played when he started our rapping and how that came about, his views on the depiction of hip hop today and why he feels “Hip Hop lost its respect, its pride, its honor. It’s become a fashion circus.“, the producers and artists he’d like to work with and gives an insight into his plans for future releases.

The feature in writing comes across exactly as it was on the phone, and well worth a read HERE

The album is available now internationally on iTunes and Amazon while CD formats are available directly from Seven 13 Entertainment at www.seven13ent.com
