Review #20: Kilo Kish - K+ (2013)

Guess who's back, blah blah blah, Kilo Kish is a female rapper, and Childish Gambino is on this mixtape. Fuck intros.

1. K+
A shitty meaningless into with Kilo talking to Gambino about the album deadline and renovations maybe? I don't care enough to lusten again.

2. Goldmine
Kilo seriously kills this, and it's the first rap song I've listened to since January, so maybe that's why this sounds so awesome. Or maybe it's actually good.

3. Ghost (Feat. Childish Gambino)
I can pretty much stop writing the review after this, because this song is the only reason I even downloaded this, but I won't because chances are if you dug through the internet far enough to find this review, you actually care about Kilo Kish. Anyways, she sounds okay on here, but Gambeezy destroys the beat, with his good Royalty flow. His verse doesn't have the same emotion that his shit on Camp did, but I'm not sure if we'll ever hear him get back to that level. Solid showing on this one though.

4. Trappin (Feat. Vince Staples)
A little bit of Odd Future influence on here, with frequent OF collaborator Vince Staples making an ok appearance. I'm pretty sure Earl Sweatshirt produced this too, and if he did, he did a good job. An eerie hook and beat goes well with Vince's flow on here, so three straight good tracks on here.

5. IOU
The beat sounds like something Azealia Banks would rap over, which is kind of a step back on this one. Gambino makes another non-rapping appearance at the end.

6. Turquoise
The beat's pretty cool on here, but it's starting to seem like Kilo can only rap one way, which makes things boring after a while. The good beat bails her out on this one though.

7. Scones
Skimmed through this, sounded like shit. Sappy Kilo Kish bullshit.

8. Love2K (Feat. Flatbush Zombies)
Ugh, I swear I'm turning this off if I hear another Kilo Kish gay singing song...wait is this Flatbush Zombies? How the fuck did this happen? It even changes up Kilo's rapping, which is good. Best track besides Ghost.

9. Better
No, not better. This was really bad actually, with the singing at the end being the only good part of the song.

10. Creepwave (Feat. Flatbush Zombies)
This was pretty solid, with the eerie beat going well with Kilo's rap-singing. I actually really liked this, and some parts of the production sounded like everything I liked about Royalty.

Rating: 6.5/10

Best Tracks: Ghost, Trappin, Love2K, Creepwave

The tracks that were good on here were good, but everything that wasn't was terrible. I blame lack of variety for my boredom towards the end of this one. Kilo remains in the same bracket of rappers for me, the half-decent females bracket.
