A track by track summary follows reflecting the contrasts in mood swings reflected in the style of production and subject matter which has at its core a stream of social commentary, a personal perspective on the experience of today’s “Black America“.

TimingIsEverything-DeadEndHipHop

4 days to go until the release of the debut album by Detroit’s MC Kid Vishis on Tuesday 22nd July 2014.

Produced by Mr Porter (Shady / D12), Chase Moore (Hippie Sabotage), New Jersey’s Nemisis and Canada’s Nick Zervos, “Timing is Everything” will be available worldwide on digital & physical CD formats, and autographed copies can be ordered from the label Seven 13 Entertainment now at www.seven13ent.com

It is also available for pre order now on iTunes & Amazon

Latest review comes from online publication Dead End Hip Hop based in the USA.

Writer Samuel Odunsi Jr puts the album in the context of the Detroit scene and the emergence of this artist over the years from releasing mixtapes as part of the “Sick Em” series, working with his elder brother Royce da 5’9″ and now stepping out in his own right with his first official studio album.

Unsurprisingly, props are given to Kid Vishis’ mic skills, concise rapier-like delivery and range of subject matter, notably in this case on the track Beautiful Day “anytime an MC takes the time out to drop some positive knowledge should be an A grade in everyone’s book.“. Read the full review HERE

Kid Vishis has had a busy time with media recently, the results of which you will see over the coming weeks, and is also in the middle of planning tours of Canada, the UK & Europe while working on his follow up sophomore album. Keep up to date with him on twitter @KidVishis and on Instagram “KidVishis”
