You might have seen it on Lefto’s blog or on On-point.be, Kid Sublime has a new single out. With video and everything. Nice to hear he’s putting out new music because I really loved his album on Kindred Spirits and I got some bootlegs with his name on I dig a lot. Not sure about “Own World” though. Not really feeling it. I like the idea of Kid Sublime picking up the mic himself, not sure I like the result as much. Need to hear more to get convinced.

It’s the flip of the 12” that does it for me. “Pityful times” is more of what I liked so much about his “Basement Soul” album. Moody, soulful beats, done extremely well. Expect to hear this in our radio show.

Hope the album, “Rappin’ Blak”, which will drop September 2008, is more in the vain of that. Or like his remix for Frank ‘n Dank. And I want to hear him do some more House stuff. Think he made some of the best moody Detroit-esque House with his Basement Works series on Jahwell. Top stuff that. Still playing it.

Still, like this so much more than all those beattapes flooding the net lately. Anyone can loop a few bars and put a beat underneath it. Finish it, get some vocalists, work your ideas out some more. And then drop it.

Hope we get to see Kid Sublime spinning somewhere in Brussels soon. Always fun.
