Sincerely Yours, Truly- Kel

Sincerely Yours, Truly is a composition I can listen to from beginning to end. Kel, an Alexandria, Louisiana native, is quickly growing into his identity as a very strong lyricist. His versatility has expanded even more so in this release. There are more “colors” of him available to the fans and more perspective injected on Sincerely Yours, Truly. The mixtape itself could not be more appropriately titled. Kel dedicates every piece of work to his fans, and shows the utmost gratitude for the support he gets as a positive artist and an advocate of substance. Each track on this mixtape bears a piece of the listener somewhere laced in the verse, which adds to the appeal of the Louisiana rapper.

“Opinions” provides insight to Kel’s private thoughts on the life many rappers ramble about while pretending to be on a grind. This is one motivated artist I can personally say works for each bit of success he sees. No hype here. Kel is on the path to becoming one of hip hop’s resurrectors.

“2^nd Wind” is an infectious vintage swing vibe featuring Mississippi artist Trey Parker (@treyparkermusic) who has shared many stages and a very impactful grassroots video last year. Both have passion and motivation that resonate all throughout.

“Paper Heart” is a hidden gem on SYT. This acoustic piece is laced with what seems like a bit of Kel’s conscience and give off the vibe that would have me sitting on my sun porch, toasted, and swimming in deep thought.

“Take Caution” reminds me of the conversation most nice guys have to themselves amidst a situation that is one of those “new” situations that can potentially change character’s direction. Kel yet again branches out extending his flow to a personal lesson direction that hip hop has not seen from too many southern rappers.

“Song We Sing” is placed to remain with me as the Kel vibe with Aaliyah lulling in the background vocals, my favorite line is on this track where Kel spits,

“There’s more to life than the project vision”…!

“Project X2” is a bonus cut that chronicles a party that without a doubt is an experience to even those that only heard about it. If you weren’t there, you really missed everything…period.

Following him is a sure way to see someone make a career from a dream. Follow him on twitter @kelmusic12 and join those that have been hit by his talent.

No More Mr. Nice Guy

This week I was privileged to get one of the first physical copies of No More Mr. Nice Guy by local hip hop artist Killa Kel, also known as Mr. Keldric Bonton. To say that the music was good is a drastic understatement. Kel’s style is quickly headed in the direction of timeless, as he uses plays on words and topics that hip hop used to be about. His flow is authentic and quickly catches the ear of the listener. If you look on Twitter and Facebook its apparent how excellent Kel’s work is. Fans are raving about it and how much they can’t help but listen to it. I personally was beginning to believe that our fair lady Hip-Hop was in fact dead and gone but thanks to artist like Killa Kel she’s starting to show signs of life and is looking to return in rare form. With this mixtape he took us back to the days when hip-hop narrated a lifestyle, instead of defining one as it does so often today. Killa Kel’s music is in fact life imitating art, imitating life. Thank you for taking us back to the basics, sir!

The Reflection Resession Volume 2

Well on yesterday I released my second official mixtape, The Reflection Resession Volume 2. Needless to say that I am more than excited about people hearing my new music. The first volume, The Reflection Resession Volume 1,  was a narration through my “weathering.” This time around I had more of an opportunity to sit and reflect on situations around me, in the world I live in. I saw so much in such a short time that I was cranking out a high volume of work, and the content to me was more diverse than ever before. I guess you can assume that Volume 1 was reflection on self, and Volume 2 contrasts with the recognition of my environment, of which I’m a product of.

My prayer is that I continue to touch people through music, and that I continue to grow and evolve as a man and also as an artist. Look out for collaborations with other artists. I think I’m ready as an artist, to deliver effectively alongside my fellow musicians!

For my next project I look to have something different once again, keeping up with the true consistency that IS change.
