Kaze is the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill), North Carolina artist paired with one of the hottest producers in the game right now in 9 th Wonder of Little Brother (Jay-Z's "Threats", Destiny's Child's "Girl").   Neither artist does each other dirty as 9 th brings the soul laced beats and Kaze brings the uncommon lyrics of substance on topics such as fronting trying to be something you are not, the relationship between mind and body and Hip Hop's simpler times. This 13 track LP from Brick Records features 10 9 th tracks, one track from Khrysis of The Away Team and two bonus track done by Kaze himself including the "Move Over" track featuring Queens, New York's own Nature.  

Kaze seems worldly in his lyrics and doesn't numb the mind with the same lines each song or by limited track riding skills.   Exposure is the key to many artists getting more than local exposure and Kaze's story is nothing different.   His tips he gives to artists in the LP's insides are those of experience and definitely could help any upstart stay motivated.   Kaze is a fresh voice that deserves a good listen to.

I'll give the LP 4 globes.
