Five Guys
By
KSV
Five Guys is the debut track from KSV, a twelve-year-old
rapper from Bristol who just happens to be the son of one Kali Mist (whose
debut with Krazy, Unbreakable, I reviewed recently).
There is no doubt that the music world is a crazy one and
one you need to be confident in and have the skills and longevity to go with it.
Starting young gives you time to develop and hone your craft in the direction
you want to take yourself.
So, with that being said, Lets hand the mic over to this
young chap and see what he has to offer:
Production comes from Defbeats who provides this big beat that’s
piano heavy and has a grime/trap vibe to it. From the get-go you immediately
get the feeling that KSV has this confidence in what he is doing, almost like
he understands that he needs an edge and that stepping into this world of
talented rap artists, in this dog-eat-dog business, that hitting hard is the
way to go, and he demonstrates that notion on this track. His wordplay, confidence,
and ability to switch between rap flows (which are crazy for someone his age)
shows a maturity and understanding of his craft that many twice his age
struggle to display with any conviction. There is also a hunger that is evident
in his words, a desire that says, I can see the scene and I want to be a part
of that scene or maybe a I wanna own that scene and make it mine.
It must help to have a father like Kali Mist as you have a
great role model but, all the same KSV has obviously put in the time, the
practice and decided on his own style. From listening to Five Guys a number of
times, I really don’t see much for KSV to improve on. As he grows and matures,
I can see him polishing his style and bringing more life experience to bear
but, for now this is a hugely impressive and highly enjoyable debut.
Whatever direction KSV chooses to go in his career whether
he sticks with one genre or perhaps mixes things up and dips in and out of
several, I see no reason he can’t go as far as he wants. Trust me keep watch
for the name KSV because following this single an album is planned for later in
the year.
Five Guys is released through Krazy’s Wordlife label.
This review will go live on the young man's 13th Birthday so, Happy Birthday KSV.
On that note,
I’m Out,
Peace.
