Editor's review
Hip-hop twosome Kingston and Young God craft a collage of upfront lyrics, brooding beats, and frenzied samples. They're from San Francisco but sound like they're from Philly, and for two white dudes, their flow is pretty on-point and rarely sounds inauthentic.
Biography
Introducing Blue Sky Black Death, the buzzing production duo consisting of Kingston & Young God.
Joining forces in 2004, the team has wasted no time in crafting dynamic tracks for some of the most renowned talent in underground hip-hop. To date, Blue Sky Black Death has worked with the likes of Guru, (Gang Starr), Chief Kamachi (Army of the Pharaohs), Jus Allah (formerly of Jedi Mind Tricks), amongst many others.
With a track record that speaks for itself, Black Sky Black Death has already garnered massive critical notoriety. Most recently, they were awarded the prestigious and coveted "Next 100" by URB Magazine.
The tandem's production work can be construed as a prelude to their greatest musical achievement to date: the collaborative concept album (and solo debut) from renowned Wu-Tang affiliate/emcee The Holocaust.
Prominently featured on the RZA's classic album Bobb
y Digital, fans have long anticipated a solo offering from this underground mainstay. The debut exhibits The Holocaust's verbal ingenuity and penchant for visceral imagery, serving as a validation of his widely acknowledged underground legacy.
Blue Sky Black Death presents: The Holocaust is an unprecedented pairing of some of indie hip-hop's most original and promising new talent.
