Here's something that I had to put up just on principle alone. I know that Kiss has been out there crooning, over collabing and quietly destroying a career that was once expected to eclipse that of the very man who he pays homage to here now, but every so often he still flashes his considerable skill and undeniable relatability.
"Letter To Big" is a new tribute that Kiss eloquently uses to illuminate just how much his late great friend, one-time label mate and mentor is missed. The gap between Biggie and everyone else rhymin' then and now is still as wide as the Atlantic and this warm remembrance that feature's Faith in the background soulfully serenading her deceased husband is yet another wonderful reminder of just how much he meant and how great he was. Kiss gets personal, reminisces over his friend who he still honors, informs him of the present day goings on down here and then thanks him for the time they did share. It's a real conversation and for a minute that special magic that occurs every so often when a real emcee kicks his lyric's from his heart just resonates within the song and it's true message....you just hope that somehow, someway Biggie heard.
