This track is a fine example of a genre that has many times been overlooked, and even referred to as "Dead" by Jay Z. This track is a St. Louis style Hip-Hop track that appeals to just about anyone who listens to the track, and the Hip-hop lifestyle. It is a free-verse song that is well put together and describes many aspects of the hip-hop life and also Kool Kamm as an individual. Below is a short self bio of Kool Kamm:
Cammeryn Ali (performing name Kool Kamm) was born on May 26,1990 in North St.Louis, Missouri. He's the oldest born out of 9 siblings. In his own words he says: "I like to take it as being born into a leadership position. I constantly had all eyes on me as being the big brother. I had to make an example on the right things to do in life. For example, graduate, pursue my passion, and believe in myself no matter what no one believes. My family wasn't fed with a silver spoon, anything we got....we worked for. We were the example of hard work pays off.
Kool Kamm's passion for music started at the age of six years old. He started actually singing and dancing before he decided to write raps. He wanted to be just like Micheal Jackson. But, when he heard 2Pac he knew from that moment on he wanted to rap. At first he was shy, he would never perform his raps in front of people. Nor let them know he rapped, he was a natural. In the process of getting the courage to actually start showing his talent, he made believers extremely fast. Friends and family started to believe and see the dream that's set forth in Kool Kamm. As he got older, he understood how his talent came so natural for him, his Great-Great Aunt was the famous Josephine Baker.
Kool Kamm Puts On For His City:
I" rep my city by showing another side of St.Louis, which in my opinion, is a place no one has seen. My diversity, creativity, and "koolness" is all a combination of my outlook of St. Louis. Most people usually focus on the negativity of St. Louis which gives the assumption of a gruesome city filled with crime, drugs, and high murder rate. This is true, but what about the struggle, true feelings, and "koolness" the St.Louis people go through on a daily basis? I believe I am the spokesman for those people."
The track instrumentals are simple yet follow a unique rhythm and style that separates it from other tracks. The lyrics state that Kamm will strive for nothing but the best and that there is more to music than just creating a song and releasing it to the public and also expresses his lifestyle in St. Louis and that he enjoys celebrating his success in music with a "bottle and a blunt of dro, this is that good times flow, so let the good times roll". His style is one that stands out to me in a sense that he puts a jazzy feel to some of his vocals and references artists such as Louis Armstrong. His amount of creativity and analogizes is what keeps you coming back to the song time and time again to hear each and everyone, just to think to yourself, "right, right" etc. He is truly a unique artist and one I will personally be following in the future.
