At Twenty-Two Years of Age Kirko Bangz , Also Known As the Young At twenty-two years of age Kirko Bangz , also known as the Young Texas Playa is already making an impact on the airwaves nationally, pumping life back into the Houston music scene. RollingOut.com There might not be a bigger rising star in H-Town at the moment than Kirko Bangz. Hell, one of the stars of MTV's Hip Hop Squares, Fat Joe, even tabbed Kirk for his latest joint, the "Another Round" remix that also features the likes of Mary J. Blige and Chris Brown. "Drank in My Cup" was that big…Besides, we've got to have somebody to get the ladies interested in watching. Mr. Bangz is one of the few local rap stars who isn't painful to look at in HD. Houston Press Representing Houston, Kirko Bangz is one of the most popular young MCs on the 'net. He can harmonize and rap, so it's no surprise that the Drake comparisons are starting to roll in. His single, 'Drank In My Cup,' strengthened his star power and after dropping his most recent mixtape, 'The Progression 2: A Young Texas Playa,' Bangz is not only perfecting his craft but well on his way to etching out his own niche in the hip-hop arena. AOL’s TheBoomBox.com - “Black History Month 2012: 10 New Black Artists” (#5) Kirko Bangz is the type of artist that some people may not truly appreciate until hindsight becomes a factor…there’s something authentic about his style that cannot be ignored…As long as he continues with his progression (no pun intended) and shows that he’s more than radio- friendly, he could get there much sooner than later. AllHipHop.com Houston rapper Kirko Bangz is riding a buzz right now worthy of attention. With a DJ Drama hosted mixtape blazing the streets now, Kirko’s been gaining a foothold in the talented Southern rap scene. MTV’s RapFix This kid is going to be a problem once people really take notice. HipHopWired.com Pretty boy swag! Is that even legal? Pretty smile, pretty eyes, pretty pockets, and such a disgusting delivery. How can these polar opposites intermingle with such a peaceful cohesion? Ask Kirko Bangz. The Houston native, has organically channeled the art of redirecting the lust for his looks into a lasting respect for his creative core. Through hip-hop, he shares an unabashed authenticity. A humble financial background motivated Kirko, not to only pursue his dream, but to stalk it, trap it, and make that bitch sing. Ballerstatus.com Houston’s favorite freshman… RapRadar.com In his career, as onstage, Kirko is not a man given to moments of inactivity. Tellingly, Procrastination Kills is the title of three earlier mixtapes. What it’s all indicative of – the bawdy raps, the literally chest-baring bravado, the frenzied onstage persona, the delicious production, the voice of rumpled velvet – is an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve and keeps his appeal firmly on the surface. Kirko Bangz knows exactly who he is and what he’s here to do…Kirko Bangz is, give or take, about a year from full-on national recognition. iHipHop.com Kirko Bangz got next out of H-Town. Believe that OzoneMag.com From his performance on Thursday to having the support from other Houston rap legends such as Paul Wall, Bun B, and Slim Thug, Kirko is making waves in hip-hop with no signs for stopping anytime soon. ArtificalUtah.com With comparisons to Drake, Lil Wayne and Tyga, Kirko stands on his own ground and proves to be one of the most versatile rappers signed to date. StuffFlyPeopleLike.com “Young, Handsome, and Gifted.” Those Three words describe an artist that resides from Houston Texas...If you have yet to realize who I am referring to your missing out. Kirko Bangz has everyone on the edge of their seat right now…Just remember a lot of people ride for their city but he drives. ToxinMagazine.com “DRANK IN MY CUP” Even if you're too young to drink liquor, this song makes you want to fill a red Solo cup with apple juice and raise it like you're toasting to the good life. This Houston, Texas rapper adopted his moniker through a phonetic interpretation of Kurt Cobain's name. Everyone knows the late Nirvana frontman rocks, and so does Kirko Bangz. His introductory track became a surefire hit. Dare we say, he Bangz, he Bangz? AOL’s TheBoombox.com - Best Songs of 2012 (So Far) After a handful of weeks of steady ascension, "Drank In My Cup," a saucy, sexy, catchy aggregate of mechanized thumps and machismo, has humped its way to the top of Billboard's Rap Songs chart, passing Drake, Young Jeezy, Wayne, Tyga and more along the way. It marks the first time in six years that a Houston rapper has reached such heights, the last being Chamillionaire's "Ridin'," which, if you'll remember, earned him a Grammy. Houston Press Kirko Bangz will always throw it up for Houston. From the huge inked image of the cityscape on his forearm to his buzzing single, “Drank In My Cup,” Bangz reps his city first before anything. His slow-downed melodies are double cup doses of the Screw sound infused with his own flavor. Vibe.com Kirko Bangz is ready to prove he's got more than one hit in him XXLMag.com Bun B can’t hold it down for Texas forever, so allow us to introduce Houston’s latest wordplay wizard: Kirko Bangz. His instant anthem “What Yo’ Name Iz?” resulted in a Warner Bros. record deal and the first cut from his upcoming Progression 2 mixtape offers up a sexier, more lyrically aggressive bit. The Sound Mobb-produced “Drank In My Cup” layers that Texas-tinged drawl over a driving hypnotic beat, accented by Bangz’s crooning on the chorus. The result is a track suited to both a sultry, booze-fueled dance party and an afterhours cruise in the whip. Listen closely and hints of Aaliyah’s “I Don’t Wanna” might jump out at you. RCRDLBL.com a saucy, sexy, catchy aggregate of mechanized thumps and machismo. It's indicative of the type of marksmanship he showed on his last mixtape, PK3, and potentially points to a more developed and achieved debut album. Houston Press This got that nice laid back H-Town feel to it I know the dirty south gonna fuck with this. I can even see this crossing over and being his major label debut single, we’ll see. OnSmash.com Kirko Bangz’s new single “Drank In My Cup” has the makings of a track perfect for night time open highway missions with the window half way down…This ode to the sweeter side of life with the devil’s nectar in the veins is tough and right down my alley the next time pre-gaming for an evening’s festivities takes place. The Smoking Section It's no "What Yo Name Iz," but it'll bang until the new tape drops. HipHopWired.com Houston takes back the sound that Drake developed. Respect-Mag.com a lovely romantic single…the beat, by Sound Mobb, is top notch and keeps you begging for more (3.5 of 5 stars) MusicRemedy.com I’m definitely feeling this jawn too. Slight auto-tune + a mellow, yet hard hitting beat = Banger. Throw in a screwed up breakdown & a couple Pimp C “Hol’ Up” ad-libs and you have yet another under-the-radar jam. MostlyJunkFood.com Down tempo and highly intoxicating, “Drank In My Cup” may be the next salvo from Bangz that makes its way through radio airwaves and slow cruising moments through the city. True, the song may be aimed at the ladies but it carries the sort of bravado that can be equally appreciated by both genders. Can’t blame Bangz for sounding a bit like Aaliyah “I Don’t Wanna Be Alone” in terms of flow, darting with the sort of balance that made Baby Girl a treasure. DayandaDream.com .

  • Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: a Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’S “Mainstream” (1996)
    Metric Ambiguity and Flow in Rap Music: A Corpus-Assisted Study of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) MITCHELL OHRINER[1] University of Denver ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen the rise of musical corpus studies, primarily detailing harmonic tendencies of tonal music. This article extends this scholarship by addressing a new genre (rap music) and a new parameter of focus (rhythm). More specifically, I use corpus methods to investigate the relation between metric ambivalence in the instrumental parts of a rap track (i.e., the beat) and an emcee’s rap delivery (i.e., the flow). Unlike virtually every other rap track, the instrumental tracks of Outkast’s “Mainstream” (1996) simultaneously afford hearing both a four-beat and a three-beat metric cycle. Because three-beat durations between rhymes, phrase endings, and reiterated rhythmic patterns are rare in rap music, an abundance of them within a verse of “Mainstream” suggests that an emcee highlights the three-beat cycle, especially if that emcee is not prone to such durations more generally. Through the construction of three corpora, one representative of the genre as a whole, and two that are artist specific, I show how the emcee T-Mo Goodie’s expressive practice highlights the rare three-beat affordances of the track. Submitted 2015 July 15; accepted 2015 December 15. KEYWORDS: corpus studies, rap music, flow, T-Mo Goodie, Outkast THIS article uses methods of corpus studies to address questions of creative practice in rap music, specifically how the material of the rapping voice—what emcees, hip-hop heads, and scholars call “the flow”—relates to the material of the previously recorded instrumental tracks collectively known as the beat.
