Kirko Bangz (feat. Paul Wall) - My Life (Warner Brothers., 2011)

I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve seen quite a few people talking about Houston’s Kirko Bangz as of late. The young rapper has a penchant for singing, with a smooth Menthol-induced voice reminiscent of fellow Texan, Devin The Dude. Though Kirko doesn’t rap like him, instead focusing on slick playa tales with a confident monotone more akin to Atlanta’s T.I. Kirko still manages to own his personality though, despite obvious influences, and that allows for this slow-summer jam (over Devin The Dude’s Anything instrumental, which utilizes the same sample as one of the best songs ever, Three 6 Mafia’s Da Summa). Be on the lookout for his Progresssion 2: A Texas Playa dropping soon

Also, Paul Wall is skinny and rapping well again. Who is ghostwriting for him now?
