Kankick - Beautiful: Opus of Love Deeper Than Flesh

When a lot of folks think of Oxnard, Ca's Hip-Hop scene they think of Madlib, well, the real heads do anyway....While I'm 100% down with folks synonymously linking Madlib with the Ox it always grinds me that Kankick, Madlib's buddy since junior high and another masterful beatmaking and crate digging resident of the small Ventura County city is almost always overlooked when it comes time to hand out the props.

Criminally slept-on or not the last addition to the Oxnard super group Lootpack and the Funk Farm Member known as Kankick has skills, real skills.....A tireless digger of rare groove, rock, folk, funk and soul gems Kan's beats are always comprised of the richest and most interesting sounds and the illest drum breaks all you aspiring producer's only wish you had in your possession, but most likely would not be able to chop as well as Kan.....

On his latest beat tape effort "Beautiful: Opus Of Love Deeper Than Flesh", Kan's "dusty, crunchy and blunted" sound is somewhat absent, and in it's place, Kan's chosen to debut his more laid back and toned down joints. Still as dope as ever, the beats on this tape will grab your ear in a more fiercly subtle manner than when a sexy co-ed asks in the middle of a crowded frat party if you wanna go back up to her dorm room......You hear and feel it no matter what!

Perfect listening material for after that big blowout party at ya boy's crib when you and your people's just wanna chill out and smoke that last L in front of the tube, or clean up after your heathen buddies who left their empty beer cans all over the place...."Beautiful..." is the soundtrack to winding some shit down peacefully....enjoy folks and be sure to check for Kankick in the future.
