The phrase "above the clouds" evokes feelings of calm, focus, and freedom in me. I imagine flying or daydreaming, floating above life's beautiful disasters, forgiving myself and others for mistakes; my mind teetering between the future and the past, reminiscing about the good, the bad, the ugly or pondering love, time lost, and the marks I'd like to leave behind.
It seems these same feelings sparked in the mind of Queens, New York MC, Kon, as he created his new EP, the aptly titled Above the Clouds.
Kon's introduction to the world has an impeccable sound. The versatile production from DJ Dyllema, Marcus Sebastion, The Individualz, and Kon himself will exercise your neck as Kon anchors the ship with his crystal clear cadence. The luminous feel of the EP gives a whole other meaning to its title, but is more than likely due to the simple touch of an MC/Producer that also holds a degree in music engineering and has produced/engineered for Ras Kass, O.C., Blahzay, and more.
Besides the EP's altostratus sound, Kon makes quite a first impression. Reminiscent of a fellow New York MC in Sene, his pen is heartfelt, thoughtful, and poetic; his flow is simplistic, precise, and digestible; and his ear for production near flawless.
As Kon prepares us for his debut full length LP, My Glorious Imperfection, we are left with a good feeling about his supposed weaknesses to come. In one debut EP/Demo, Kon has already proven worthy to pilot hip hop fans above the clouds for years to come. Buckle up.
