Who Holds the Cards?
“If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself”
Success is a fleeting feeling. A glimpse of a completion. The problem with artists, creatives, hustlers, visionaries is that even when a goal is achieved its way past due, and we are heading towards to past due on a whole new set of goals. Because of this the ability to keep up with a person of this nature requires a deep understanding of what drives them, what makes them tick, why each goal is so important and how this fits into a grand design. Each member of this creatives tea/circle/family is important from the visible members to the behind the scenes members as well. With success the ability to reach goals is only possible when each member works with the other teammates to achieve the heights they originally intended to.
Ka$ino Collective is a group that is a solid creation between ZIlla Bones, Rocky Rhodes, Spiffy Davis and Che. These artists are bringing a new wave of different production and have their second project released titled “Heart”. This project is the sophomore release of the group who first released “Spade” in 2018. Since then their creative synergy has only evolved and their tracks are balanced with energy, bars and just overall solid vibes. The production is layered and very unique, it works exceptionally well with the flow/cadence of each emcee on this project. Some of the standout tracks are “Heartless” which starts the project out with a statement that this is not your typical Southwest project. The track “Atomic Dog” is classic Rocky Rhodes with bars, bass heavy beat, with bravado and swagger. The track “Flip” is a street anthem with a true grittiness and a complete New Mexico flavor that has a high replay value, the emcees compliment each others style and beat works perfectly with their work. The album has a solid collection of vibes, production feels like there is influence from classics, the lyrics feel more carefully written then the previous project. Overall the project is smooth, an effortless collection of a group of emcees with a unified vision. This project sounds like Ka$ino is out to make a strong stake to claim. Listen and follow below.
