Slava P doesn’t understand the question and won’t respond to it.
Even though you’ve probably never heard of Atlanta’s Key!, ‘Guess Who’ feels comfortably familiar. It sounds like what would happen if A$AP Rocky wrote a snap-dance song ($napdance?). The greatest songs are the ones that you can’t help but memorize. The songs that grab your attention for all the wrong reason and don’t let go, whether it’s because of their production or a catchy hook.
“Guess Who” has both, and it serves as a proper coming out for key! as one of many faces of Two-9. What’s a Two-9? It’s a small “conglomerate” of artists out of the ATL. It features two groups (fatkidsbrotha & Retro Sushi), two cameramen, and five artist/producers: Curtis Williams, Damien, Wavy, Snubnose and the aforementioned key!.
In 2012, 90% of all rappers seem to fall into two categories: trying to sound like Meek Mill or trying to sound like Rocky, who is really just trying to sound like a “prettier” version of Houston rappers in 2005. Hip-hop has really become one of those snakes that eats itself, only it’s wearing gold fangs. I predict that 2013 will consist mostly of groups like Two-9: an a-regional sound that appeals to as many people as possible while consisting of members dress like absolute shit. I’m okay with that if it means that we can finally find out who’s fucking my bitch.
