KEN-C and producer Kidd Called Quest have struck gold with their single, “Never Give You Up“. A polished jewel from their upcoming collabo album, The Kendrick Cole Project, this piece is a heartfelt salute to the numerous trailblazers, men and women alike, who’ve struggled and triumphed in molding hip-hop music into what it is today. The cut reels listeners in with the slap of its lo-fi drums and the melodious whispers of its soulful samples, taking you on a trip down memory lane to some of hip-hop’s best stages. KEN-C draws us in deeper with the layers of his lyrics. His verses spill out, recounting a lifetime spent listening to and learning from some of the greatest to ever grace the mic. He and Quest celebrate some of the legendary artists who paved the way for him and his generation, while also serving as an inspiring reminder that they still have much more to give.
As the currents of hip-hop meander more and more towards commercial tides, KEN-C and Kidd Called Quest hold down the fort. Their sound bridges the past with the future. Rawness from yesterday meets tomorrow’s bright, vibrant vibes. They wear the legacy of boom-bap like a badge of honor, going to lengths to honor those who dared to lay the first stones, while carving out a space of their own in the crowded walls of today’s scene.
