HNIC – “Yom Kippur” X “What’s Good God” Ft. Sun Ra

Straight out of the dorm room…Heaven’s Next Ill Child is putting out some new raps, be very afraid. No exaggeration, this is the closest to recent “Underground Rap” that I’ve heard in years, in the best way possible. “Yom Kippur” shows that HNIC is comfortable over the production of others (Daringer came through with the dustiest loops) while “What’s Good God” revisits some classics samples, including Sun Ra. Lyrically, the Maryland-based producer and rapper casually switches from braggadocios to conscious, while referencing local Go-Go, Adult Swim, Anime (Bleach, I think) and Assata Shakur…My excuse for being late on this is that (maybe) I was busy fasting and thinking on Yom Kippur instead of getting on here.
