FKi...these guys are so new that they don't even seem to have a Facebook page yet. Yes, I've already looked for it. I downloaded their mixtape, Transformers N The Hood, via rcrdlbl last week, and have been in love with their throbbing bass, quick rhymes and catchy beats ever since. They've also got electronic god Diplo on their side, which doesn't hurt either. The track that immediately jumped out (the most, really...there are plenty o' good tracks here) was "Bent Up" with the lovely Natasha Mosley.
"Bent Up" begins with the delicate tap of a piano and tell a hoe to lean on me, hit her with the Morgan Freeman, my bitch hella bad, your bitch hella decent. Yes, it's a love song set to fuzzy computer sounds with a few choppy repetitions of bent up, bent up, bent up...and it's wonderful. Don't confuse this track with that softcore rap that can put anyone to sleep. "Bent Up" is just as aggressive as FKi's other selections (which you must listen to, by the way), and is in no way a sweet love ditty. Oh no. Ms. Mosley's chorus is the icing on the proverbial cake here too. So what are you waiting for this Monday evening? Are you watching A&E's Hoarders too? Why not get your hands on the mixtape?
Oh, and what does FKi stand for? Fuckin' Kickin' It.
