TimingIsEverything-PremiereHipHop

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.”

READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW HERE

The album is produced by Mr Porter, Chase Moore, Nemisis & Nick Zervos, and can be bought worldwide on iTunes, Amazon and in CD format from the label Seven 13 Entertainment direct at www.seven13ent.com

An official video for the track “Look At All My $hit” will be released shortly. A sarcastic swipe at the big ballers frontin on social media, here’s the audio of the track on Soundcloud

Kid Vishis is working on scheduling dates for the USA, Canada, UK & Europe and is in the studio recording a new EP & album. You can follow him on twitter @KidVishis

TimingIsEverything-SagittariusHH

It’s now nearly 2 weeks since Detroit MC Kid Vishis released his debut album “Timing is Everything” on Seven 13 Entertainment.

The younger brother of Royce da 5’9″ has enjoyed widespread international media coverage over the past couple of months, most recently by France’s online Sagittarius HH who have just published a new review which can be read HERE

Written in French, the review reflects on the fact that other than his brother on the final track “Coward”, there are no other featured artists, however “It represents his pedigree with an impressive lyrical density to the point that he has no need for guest appearances.” and presenting the explanation that as this is his debut, and clearly a deliberate approach this time around, it may be “because we feel that Timing is Everything is a very personal work.”

The review also reflects the fact that the album is not necessarily what is expected, with only one Detroit producer, Mr Porter, providing beats along with California based Chase Moore, Canada’s Nick Zervos and New Jersey’s Nemisis, all of whom are providing a diversity of sound, even touching upon dubstep in the track “In Yo Face”, but never wavering from the core principles of lyricism & rhyme skills expected from a rapper influenced by the best from the Golden Age of hip hop.

Available internationally on Itunes & Amazon in digital format, CD’s of the album can also be bought directly from the label at www.seven13ent.com Check out the official audio stream on Soundcloud

Look out for further press coverage coming from the UK, Europe & USA in the next couple of weeks, including a special video feature in France’s Hip Hop 4 Life in the next few days. Currently in the middle of further media promotional activity as well as putting together tour dates for the UK, Europe & Canada, you can follow him on twitter @KidVishis.

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”

Here is his latest video for “Talk Behind My Back”
