One of the best things you will hear, hiphop-wise, from our city this year—the debut album from Kingdom Crumbs, the Cloud Nice project from Tay Sean & Jerm Dee (also known as Helladope), Mr. Mikey Nice, and Jarv Dee (he of BAYB and Moor Gang). From the Shabazz Palaces homage on the opening track "Evoking Spirits..." to the Outkasty funk-spiritual closer "The Infinite"—it's a beautiful and enlightening listen.

I saw KC do their first live show at Homeskillet Fest in Sitka, AK last month, and can't wait for y'all to see how these four get down. Salute the Cloud.
