Fat Beats on December 6, 2011 |
North Carolina hip-hop has flourished this year, with Carolina's own J. Cole finding his way to a #1 debut atop the Billboard charts it's been clear that the overwhelming amount of talent in this state is beginning to get the recognition it deserves. J. Cole is just scraping the surface of this talent pool though, the state is filled with names like 9th Wonder, Phonte, The Beast, King Mez, and arguably one of the fastest rising in the state with Kooley High. While Kooley has established a name for themselves with their debut full-length,
Eastern Standard Time, they're flexing their skills on this new release,
David Thompson. While some of Kooley High has relocated to Brooklyn, it's very clear that their heart still remains in North Carolina and the hip-hop scene that they've flourished in. Between the stellar production and effortless displays of clever lyricism, Kooley High has placed their feet firmly in the door of national recognition with
David Thompson. Kooley High is celebrating their album release at The Pour House in Raleigh on Saturday, December 10 with King Mez, Actual Proof, and Lazarus
