Temperature’s Rising: Klassik

In Milwaukee, a great foulness impregnates the air, a direct cause of the all the shits that nobody gives about it. But defying the odds, newcomer Klassik is steadily putting Wisconsin Hip Hop on the map. The artist has already opened for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Ludacris, and Talib Kweli just to name a few. Bridging an eclectic array of diverse styles, Klassik's Spring EP is a thematically layered ode to everyone's favorite season.

The main appeal in Klassik's approach is how charismatic he is on the mic. At all times he dons the demeanor of an artist genuinely passionate about the music rather than someone looking for a check. Klassik proves as much on "Go Far," the EP's opener. The track is a tale of struggle as well as triumph, with the emcee giving brief autobiographical sketches about what caused him to get into music in the first place. Klassik's harmonizing adds a further level of pathos than the bars themselves. "Know It All" is a bouncy, multi-tempo jaunt that recalls The Black Eyed Peas in the pre-Fergie days.
