TimingIsEverything-Blacksheep

British online publication Blacksheep Magazine have reported on international hip hop for many years now, providing news, interviews and reviews of releases and artists who would draw from the more traditional elements of the genre

They are the latest to run the rule over the debut album by Detroit rapper Kid Vishis, the younger brother of Slaughterhouse veteran Royce da 5 9, and have afforded “Timing is Everything” a 4 star rating. Contributor Andrew Kay opens with the question “by being Royce’s kid brother, the question remains: is he a credible chip off the old block?“.

He then goes through the tracks produced by Mr Porter, Chase Moore (Hippie Sabotage), Nemisis and Nick Zervos before concluding “no one can fault the execution of making an album that says more than what’s on the tin – Kid has his own style, differing from his more established brother. But on the face of this, he’s in his own lane and on his way to a very credible career with (hopeful) longevity and much success.”

Read the full article HERE

Taken from the album, which can be pre-ordered at www.seven13ent.com, here’s the lyric video for “Look At All My $hit”

Follow him on twitter @KidVishis and the label @Seven13Music

Look out for press coverage on this release throughout the summer from titles in Canada, United States, UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Any further media inquiries regarding the album or artist can be sent to UrbanElite PR HERE

TimingIsEverything-Rawroots

The long awaited debut album “Timing is Everything” by Detroit’s Kid Vishis (younger brother of Royce da 5 9) releases 22nd July on Seven 13 Entertainment.

One of Michigan’s most highly rated emerging rappers is no novice, having toured throughout the United States, Europe & the UK, produced a series of “Sick ‘EM” mixtapes since 2007 and featured on several of his brother’s albums and also worked with Crooked I’s fam Horse Shoe Gang.

He draws his influences from legendary lyricists down the years, and as debuts go, it’s a bold move that throughout the album he showcases his own mic skills with only one feature appearing on the track “Coward” – appropriately enough from his older brother

Production is courtesy of Shady’s Mr Porter, Chase Moore (Hippie Sabotage), Nemisis and Canada’s Nick Zervos

Unsurprisingly there’s been much international media interest in the release, and British online Rawroots have just featured the release HERE

Expect to see a lot of coverage on the album over the summer which can be pre-ordered at www.seven13ent.com
