Buggs-BlacksheepMag

Releasing on 10th December 2014, the new album “Scattered Thoughts of an American Poet” by Cincinnati hip hop artist Buggs tha Rocka includes production by Hop Trax, Sal Dali, !llmind & Jake One, and a variety of featured artists including Tanya Morgan, Chuck Inglish, MOOD and Piakhan.

A total of 19 tracks appear on the release, and the UK’s online magazine Blacksheep has just run the rule over it.

Offered a 4 star rating, their contributor Andrew Kay opens “Refreshingly, the title of his album refers to the official skill of rapping: being a poet….the thing that strikes you is the astonishingly diverse production and changes in mood and atmosphere that occur from track to track. Scattered might be how he’s sprinkled his lyrics over affected beats, but the strategy works.”

READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE

Look out for the launch of a new video for the track “Angel of Death featuring Piakhan and produced by Hop Trax next week as part of a special feature with a British online magazine. There will also soon be a video launched documenting the Reflection Eternal reunion show which took place in Cincinnati’s Rhinegeist Brewery in October. Meantime check the teaser video for the album

TimingIsEverything-BeardedMagazine

British online Bearded Magazine report on a wide range of new independent artists of various genres, providing reviews, features, news and video coverage.

They have an “Introducing…” series of features where they “focus on artists we think are worth shouting about”

They have just published one such feature on Detroit MC Kid Vishis who released his debut album “Timing is Everything” on 22nd July 2104.

The feature focuses mainly on the new release, while providing some background : “Being the younger sibling of an already established musical force can often be of detriment to your success…however, when it comes to Detroit-style rap, with all its grit, Kid Vishis isn’t finding it difficult to escape from Royce da 5’9”.”

Describing Kid Vishis’ rhymes as flows with “lyrical flair & poignancy, dropping truth bombs….no gimmicks, just pure vocal dexterity“, the album is recommended for those looking for “real roots rap, with bold, confident rhymes spat over crisp beats”

Read the whole feature written by Larry Day HERE

Now available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and CD formats through Seven 13 Entertainment www.seven13ent.com

AUDIO STREAM

Look out for further international press coverage being published in the coming weeks, and keep up to date with Kid Vishis on twitter @KidVishis for news updates on new releases and shows

Press & media wishing to interview Kid Vishis, or club promoters looking to book Kid Vishis for shows should contact UrbanElite PR HERE with inquiries.

TimingIsEverything-HipHopDurso

Last week, Detroit’s Kid Vishis jumped on the phone with New Jersey online Hip Hop Durso’s charismatic young writer Roberta Lampley shortly after the release of his debut album “Timing is 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

Produced by Mr Porter, Chase Moore, Nemisis and Nick Zervos, and also featuring Royce da 5’9″ on the final track “Coward”, check out the album’s official audio stream and keep up to date with Kid Vishis on twitter @KidVishis

Look out for more international media coverage coming over the next few days, including a special video feature on France’s Hip Hop 4 Life.
