october shine

in this day in age it's difficult to find an emcee who's style and flow doesn't sound like the next man's, however, this month i've found the perfect candidate for my monthly shine post. that man is "mr. whacktose intolerant" himself, rhymefest.

this cat hails from the midwest, another chi-town born, but indianapolis-raised, kanye west protege/artist. you may have heard his single "brand new," blowin up across the airways, but this dude is no novice in the game. he already has a grammy for co-writing kanye's "jesus walk's" in 2004, and that was before he even released any single of his own. it is also reputed that he battle eminem before he blew up and lyrically destroyed hip hops illest white boy (that's just what i heard).

his album "blue collar" will be released later this year (winter) and with his dope production and savvy flow, we can expect this cat to make an impact in hip hop in the years to come.
