one of the supposed "up n comers" that I actually can get into. Not incredibly original, but really solid rapping

Just another one aftermath are going to leave sitting in the ranks.

Thanks Kirby, I had to share this when I heard it.

^ Definitely a dope track.

Been going on about him lately, but Section.80 is my favourite album right now. Makes me emotional. What the what!

It definitely hit a chord with a lot of people last year, it definitely stayed in my car for quite awhile. "Keisha's Song" is one of the finest examples of modern story telling I've found in hip hop recently, and I'm glad that he's at least getting some mainstream attention. Apparently he has a new album in the works for this year called Good Kid in a Mad City.

He does have a new album out in 2012 but it will have a different name.

I've been meaning to check him out with all the hype he's getting. I'm pretty sure all I've heard him in was that cypher, and I remember he had a really cool, effortless delivery which I dug. Section.80 the place to start?

I'd say so, if it works for you I'd also recommend checking out his mixtape (O)verly (D)edicated.

Yeah, but I think you should listen to Section.80 twice in a row. That's what I do anyway, and I always enjoy it the second time round more.
