Kaidi is the bomb, man. So brilliant!
His music is HIS, but an approximation would be an insane crossover of jazz rock (some vintage sounds here and there, think Herbie Hancock, maybe some old Jeff Beck sans guitar), Flying Lotus and Squarepusher for the jazzy beat madness, and groovy stylish kings Azymuth. Or something like that.
Just fuckin' killer music to move your body to. This record is HARDER than the mellower and jazz-funkier Hard Times EP. Get both, this guy is the shit. Cosmographer
Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
My introduction to Liv.e was seeing her open for Earl Sweatshirt. During "powaline" she earned an audible "oooh" from the crowd after reciting, "E-V-I-L, that means you got it twisted"! Liv.e is brimming with potential, already garnering attention as underground R&B's best kept secret. She needs more than to just be provided beats, Liv.e requires a vibe be curated. On 'hoopdreams', with the assistance of renowned producer 10.4 ROG, Liv.e shows her range as a vocalist still coming into their own. JALENKWRIGHT
