You back? That was fun, right? Gotta love democracy. Alright. Tight. Let's continue.
The Artist: Yea Big and Kid Static
The Song: "Eatcho Samwich"
The Album: Eatcho Samwich
Fifteen Word Description: Glitchy, innovative hip-hop duo continues to take over the world with robots, funk, sex, and sandwiches.
Notesplosions: I'm excited as hell to finally get to plug a Yea Big/Kid Static number. I enjoyed the hell out of their self-titled debut, but unfortunately I also got on the bandwagon a little late to write any kind of notable review or recommendation. But now we got "Eatcho Samwich," so I don't need to stay quiet a day longer.
This Chicago duo stand out by injecting 50cc's of avant-garde glitch and business into their laid-back midwestern hip-hop. The effect is a sound that's been filtered through radios, televisions, and space satellites before landing at Kid Static's turntables; the beat is filled with cultural layers and whimsy before Yea Big ever lays down his rhymes. But, as "Eatcho Samwich" proves, the Big guy's got enough skill to make a whole three-minute track out of ruminations on the variety of available sandwiches. Coupled with the storytelling evidenced on their debut, this potential of this duo excites me tremendously.
