THE LOST AND FOUND

Continuing with the topic of artists from Chicago, Kidz In The Hall is from there and recently signed with Duck Down Records. These dudes have received some critical acclaim for their previous album and are now set to drop a new one in ‘08, titled ‘The In Crowd.’ In signing with Buckshot’s label, they join the likes of Masta Ace, Blackmoon (obviously) and Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest.

If you’ve heard their old stuff it’s safe to say they’re coming with a new sound this time around, at least on some of the tracks. Arguably, even using the same formula that The Cool Kids have utilized: screwed vocals on the chorus and heavy bass/”slap” on the beat. Watch the teaser video below for their single “Drivin’ Down The Block” and decide whether this observation has any merit… but even if it does, who cares?

In addition to the video above, their unwavering support for Barack Obama is giving them some attention as well. Check out this video of Naledge (one half of the duo, the other half being Double-O) speaking out about Obama and the importance of community awareness: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJWNW3g6Blo
