Artist: knowjuander
Album: A Kid Love, beta
Info: Project was completely produced by knowjuander for Genius Kid LLC. Album features “Memories,” a song originally recorded by Raymond Scott, and a vocal feature by Jarell Perry on “Determination.”
The spirit of the record is carried on the thought that when we were all kids, we truly experienced unadulterated love. The feelings we possessed as children were the most authentic. So the title implies that the work in full is the most authentic expression of (love) for, in this case, undoubtedly, hip hop that could be shown. The usage of “beta” as a suffix on this project has more than the mere meaning that this project is in a user-tested phase. Loosely, though, there is the desire for those who pick up this project to try it out, try to understand not only the material, but the artist also. Moreover, to try to give the same energy to their crafts, whether it musical or not.
Personal highlights of the record are “This Long Keep On” and “Determination,” as well as the powerful brag-swag track, “Drummer… A Little Bit.”
From the production angle I would definitely highlight “A Little Bit… More,” as it may have been the most difficult of the samples to chop that were used to create the soundtrack of this lyrical outing.
Personally, I feel that I shine on “Painting a Still,” which is my favorite of all the songs, “Determination,” being second. Combined, this project is more than six months of production and a season or so of actual writing and crafting songs in various settings and sittings.

Note: This is not a review. This is my “shameless plug-outlook” on where this album came from.

Last night after recording four of the joints for the release scheduled for a Friday release, DJ Bone hit me up to come thru and interview for some positive pub for the album and I happily obliged. The homie Nefarious! has also been chatting with me about another project that him and some of the other homies were working on and said he wanted to tune in. Turns out he end up recording the duration of the interview at the KTUH radio station. Click on the image to download the interview.

Mad respect to DJ Bone and all the underground DJ’s who spin underground hip hop and also to all the people who called in to the radio station and tuned in from different states outside of the HI, as well as in the HI. Peace y’all.

Whitney Houston has been in bad way for a while, honestly. An explosive vocalist in the 90s we’ve seen her go through some pretty bad situations. I’m glad to see her back and I think people should give her a serious chance to make music again without bringing up her past. Her voice is still there and the message in her song is strong and reflective of the past seven years. Check her “Didn’t Know My Own Strength” video out:
