Sumkid = Encore Status + Crazy man with a mic in his hand


If you think you've got this Hip Hop thing down you to a science, you haven't heard of element SumKid. Member of Vinyl Junkies Recordings since 1995 and noted to be one of Talib Kweli's favorite emcess, he is in a class of his own. This wildly smooth emcee fuses pop culture and killer vocab in every line. This is Hip Hop with a twist of Blues, so you'll be hard pressed to resist the emotion in this piece.
Allow him to introduce himself around the two minute mark on the track "Trans-Am". Laugh at the hilarious wordplay in "Naked With A Cape On." Now your acquainted, take a road trip with him on "Dude More Blue" before you party on the Shady-esqe "Cooler Fulla Brews."
Production on some of these tracks isn't the greatest... but you'll get over it. You'll rewind the first time just to catch what was said. The second might be to laugh with a friend about a line that hits a little too close to home. Any time after that is a tribute to this organized chaos. Sumkid's upcoming album,"The Bone Mustache Combe," promises to be a grade-A off the wall lyrical roller coaster. Click below to hear, "Chuck Norris On Drugs" a single off the album...as well as "King Kong in A Suit".

Buckle your seat belts and listen to those Sumkid tracks here.


Sample two of his tracks on our Mixtape on the right panel. When you think you're ready, head over to his spot on ReverbNation for thirteen brow raising, gut busting, and emotionally gripping tracks.
