For all of your money making endeavors, “World Go Round,” the latest joint from North Carolina’s Fluent, is the theme that’ll motivate you to make stacks. And while Fluent comes correct with his dizzying bars over J. Cardim’s slick production, Kaze and Guilty Simpson come through to complete the cipher by detailing their journeys from the bottom to the top. “World Go Round” is the 4th leak taken from Fluent’s July 15th full length release LP, Supreme Victory, which is produced entirely by J. Cardim and boasts features from the likes of Nipsey Hustle, Joe Budden, and Action Bronson.. stay tuned!”

Kaze / 9th Wonder – Spirit Of '94: Version 9.0

DJ Ethx — Tue, 06 Sep 2005 07:00:00 +0000

I first reviewed Kaze’s “On” b/w “Move Over” 12″ almost a year ago and to be honest, the only thing that I can recollect from that first encounter with Kaze was that I wanted to hear more. I had heard nothing about him, hadn’t seen his bio regurgitated across the pages of all the rap mags — nothing. I just knew that it was a solid single. Then I get wind a few months later that Kaze’s teamed up with another North Cackalack native to spruce up a previous release of his. That hometown homie was none other than 9th Wonder, so I the anticipation was high at this point.

Finally, the album is in my hand…after the white label “50/50 Amp Remix” tease, after the official single was serviced to college radio…finally here so I can finally hear. And ya know what? I’m not disappointed, it was worth the wait.

Kaze’s appeal is his ability to go from personal narratives and dedications to his mom to other joints where he’s hard as hell. He definitely has that intelligent hoodlum feel to him, rapping at one point that teachers hated because he “got straight A’s, but D’s in conduct.” His character is definitely the three dimensional type, capable of quickly swinging from bragging bravado on “50/50 Amp” to spiritual musings on “Soul Dojo (Essence Of Life Mix)”. 9th’s simple boom bap drums and lazy, meandering strings compliment Kaze’s lyrical style perfectly, never outshining, just providing that perfect backdrop. Cop this joint, the man is so sincere…and sincerely talented, too.
