Kidd Called Quest drops “Ferocious” ft. RJ Payne & Pretty Bulli
Beat-Smith Kidd Called Quest has unleashed the most “Ferocious” thing to come from Rochester since the Mountain Lion invaded the hood. New single “Ferocious” is just that, a drum-driven, moody sample type of boom-bap heater topped with acidic spit from professional mic bruisers RJ Payne (Philadelphia) and Pretty Bulli (Buffalo, NY).

With a video to materialize shortly as well, “Ferocious” caps off a year of equally high-quality singles from Kidd Called Quest. These include “Night Lights” featuring his Rochester, NY neighbor Mooch (Da Cloth) as well as several tracks with St. Paul Minnesota emcee Ken-C and some new joints with his Young Black And Gifted partner Azariah.

More Info:
Retro gaming meets professional mic rippers for a new single. Great Neck, NY’s AWOL Da Mindwriter continues his audio partnership with August Fanon (Mach Hommy, Vic Spencer) for “Chaos Control.” A reference to a Sega Dreamcast early 90’s classic, Sonic Adventure 2 the high velocity bars are amplified with guest appearance from underground legend, Planet Asia (and cuts by DJ Pinn).. Speaking on the link-up AWOL said “Chaos Control was a power-up in the Sonic universe used for battle. I view this track as a blood-sport with two emcees making other emcees not wanna reckon with us.”
