Hip-hop is a young man’s game and, as an aging (and concerned) fan of the music, it’s hard for an old geezer like myself to put easy trust in kid rappers who are often more than ten years my junior. I want to hope that my beloved genre will be left in good hands that foster and advance the movement rather than retard and hinder. Much of the sh-t that’s really popping nowadays is more of a portent of things to come rather than a reason to be optimistic.
Who says today’s youth is lost? Perhaps the most impressive thing about Brothers From Another, the SEA duo comprised of Breez and Goonstar, is how relatively calm and collected they seem compared to their other similarly-aged counterparts in the rap game. I caught BFA opening for Blue Scholars a few weeks ago at Neumos and their charming and energetic performance to a packed house seemed like second nature to them. This new clip for “Beeba Vision Part II” catches them doing what they do best: rapping with a breezy nonchalance, with styles rooted in a simple yet classic brand of hip-hop. Even brighter things are on the horizon for this crew.
“We go front back and around the globe/Put your hands in the air if you’re ready to roll,” declare Breez and Goonstar, the two young bucks of don’t-call-em-kiddie-rap-outfit, Brothers From Another.
Around the globe, really? Let’s just shoot for “around the Puget Sound” first and see what happens, okay fellas? Still, BFA is a breath of fresh air; their style is of the throwback West Coast variety and they always sound like they’re smiling in their raps.
Justo makes the beat here. A throwaway track for him certainly, but it gets the job done for BFA. Click below for the download, fam.
