K. Gaines embodies everything one should want from modern hip hop artist. He is linguistically skilled, devises clever, creative concepts and delivers both with a charisma that can’t be ignored.
The production of 2 Hungry Bros, a production house that specializes in creative, slightly-but-never-too-much experimental soundscapes and tempos, provides the perfect backdrop for Gaines’ delightfully, slightly-left-field artistic personality.
Throw in equally creative, tongue-in-cheek video direction from Peter Lawton (Chopstick Graffiti) which perfectly matches the campy fun K. Gaines characterizes in the form of his “Kung Fu Bum,” and you have the song and video for “Kung Fu Choas,” a trifecta of lyrically, sonically and visually enjoyable hip hop.
Catch the video below, and snatch up K. Gaines’ latest release, RUMSPRINGA: The Wildman Chronicles for more controlled chaos, and keep an eye out for K. Gaines’ full-length “Kung Fu Bum,” currently being screened during the 2013 A3C Hip Hop Festival.
