Kim opens the track and litters it with intense alliteration and rhyming schemes fit for a Genius transcription. “Block 4” and his previous single, “Let Me Pray,” come together uniquely as the two styles of rapping make Kim’s versatility very transparent; whereas “Let Me Pray” features a transition from rapping into singing, “Block 4” is essentially a recorded cypher, with relentlessness in the air as he and King Los deliver bars that could very well continue without end.

A repetition of the words “What you all on my Block for (4)” ends with a transition into King Los’ voracious succession of lyrics detailing his successes and abilities- a treat common to Los’ repertoire, having showcased his freestyling and lyrical talent on many different occasions. Every bar the duo spits ostensibly slides off their tongues slippery smooth, which compliments the similarly tinted beat which they’ve chosen for their showcase.

Kim has already left his mark in the music world, and has shown no intent to stop early. Artists like T.I. and Trae The Truth have vocalized their admiration for the Orlando rapper when he came through with his song/visual “Ali,” which paid homage to the renowned and recently deceased Muhammad Ali.

Kim’s intent on dropping the Seeking Forever EP sometime in February, which will feature “Let Me Pray,” “Block 4,” and “Ali.” Keep in touch with Kim via his Twitter and Soundcloud pages.

Orlando artist Kim drew praises from the likes of T.I. and Trae Tha Truth back in the summer when he released a song called “Ali” which paid homage to late great boxer, Muhammad Ali. Those praises were also mixed with praises for Kim for honoring the Orlando nightclub shooting victims. Kim has a vocal ability like no other; in his new release “Let Me Pray” his range is mixed with melodic singing while he quickly flips the script with rapid-fire raps in between. Equally showing that the artist definitely has what it takes to take the industry and world by storm.

Kim has a great love for his craft as indicated in his statement below.

“Anyone can tell you about my loyalty and the awareness I look to bring with what I do and what I seek, it’s not for money, or fame. It’s for knowledge, that’s the real power. The more you know, the more aware, the more empowered one is to help the next individual.”

If T.I. and Trae Tha Truth approve, we’re sure you’ll feel the same way once you hear Kim’s lyrical masterpiece in “Let Me Pray.” Check it out below and let us know what you think. You can follow Kim on Twitter here and you can get an ear full of other music he’s released on soundcloud here. Kim’s Seeking Forever LP is set to be released in early 2017.

Encore has long been considered one of Eminem‘s lesser albums. He even says it on Recovery, something along the lines of, “Encore I was on drugs, Relapse I was flushing them out.” But then we have to remember everything that Eminem touches is at the least 18-Karat gold. Which means, if The Marshall Mathers LP is 24-Karat than Encore has to be somewhere around 18. Case in point being Chris Rene.

Just kidding?

Enjoy “Puke”. It’s on its way to becoming a modern day classic.
