In the process of a year Mr. Kinetik has been part of some of the illist ish that has been dropping out of Naptown and in hip hop period. In February he set off the year with The Green Hornet EP alongside one of Indy's sickest emcees Eratic. Then the ATFU/Tornado Alley project/movement began bubbling and taking over. Then in May alongside Rusty Redenbacher from the Mudkids they released a collab effort titled "The Professor and The Hustler," which was once again nothing short of SLAMMIN'!
How do you follow it up? How do you stay consistent? In this day, artists turn out music to keep a buzz going instead of making solid projects. Over the last 8 months, Mr. Kinetik's projects seem to be as dope or doper than the last. So... here we are in August and Mr. Kinetik does it again with his "Sounds of Soul" project which, according to Mr. Kinetik, "has been carefully crafted over a couple of years." (and you can tell) This is NOT a sloppy collection of tracks with no theme like what many mixtapes have become. I could tell from 1st listen that this project was a fine tuned and well oiled machine. A lot of albums have peaks and valleys, but "Sounds of Soul" is nothing but consistent all the way through in the fashion of many classic hip hop albums. Time will only tell, but this LP and artist have the potential to go far.
