There are a few albums that I could take every song and blog about. The first, and maybe only two that comes to mind are Chevelle's Hats Off To The Bull and FKi's Transformers N The Hood. Two drastically different genres, and two reasons why I love music so much. Let's look at more rap today; "In The Air" is another solid effort from the boys of FKi, sampling Miss McCluskey's collaboration with Morgan Page of the same name. Sampling can take some artists down a dangerous path (Flo Rida, I'm looking at you), but FKi does it right. If you can keep elements of the original while taking it in your own unique direction, you're set, and definitely don't think about leaning on said sample to get you through the song. FKi takes charge with "In The Air," a somewhat-subdued rap ditty that packs my favourite item: a punch. Angela's vocals, still in the chorus, act as a perfectly airy compliment to the husky rhymes.
Perfection in rap can be hard. FKi makes it look easy.
