G-Side

The other day I was thinking about how K.R.I.T. was probably my favorite rapper in the South at the moment. Then, G-Side's "Came Up" arrived, and while this Huntsville, AL duo haven't taken the top spot, they are definitely worth adding to the list of folks who are doing really good music. This beat is unexpected to say the least - classical violin spreading its wings over a beat that doesn't need burning hi-hats or an 808 sub - not the traditional Southern take at all. The second verse sort of reminds me of the way Apani flowed on Doom/Vik Vaughn's Vaudeville Villain
