Klassik: Spring EP

Spring EP
(self-released)

Award-winning Milwaukee hip hop/R&B artist Klassik has released another EP in his SEASONS series. This three-song collection Spring represents new life, embodying a revitalized spirit through more rapidfire wordplay and accelerated tempos than Klassik has tried before, as he works vigorously to shake the frost of his Winter collection, the EP that came first in this series. No longer defeated by the gloom of gray skies and snow storms, Spring brings forth a renewed sense of purpose and energy.

ā€œGo Farā€ is bedded by a toy drum programmed sound, offering Klassikā€™s soft spoken word approach with a plinky, single-note piano and a stuttering bass drum that gives the whole concoction meat.Ā ā€œKnow It All (Prod. by Mag Spencer)ā€ has a really fast ā€œshaka-kakaā€-sounding back beat with echoing single keys. I like the kinetic pacing of this one and showing as it does yet another nuance to Klassikā€™s voice (here he is almost singing), it is clearly my favorite song of the trio.Ā ā€œOtha Fish (Feat. OYE!)ā€ is quite another, wholly different sounding rap tune with low, roiling, horn sounds and a low, low bass that really moves the tune along.Ā Iā€™m not so sure about the theme of spring working to what the man is on about here in this short collection, but Klassikā€™s EP Spring is a tight little three-song journey into the seasons of this rapperā€™s mind.

You can listen to the EPĀ here.
