King; the word is used quite loosely these days in the music world. Besides the obvious household names, there’s fewer & fewer emcees these days making a strong impact with their releases. Norflok emcee/ producer Illien Rosewell aims to alleviate those hunger pains however as evident on his newest single, “King”. With production fusing electronic sounds (as found on Kanye’s “808 & Heartbreaks”) with a ferocious Southern drawl with layered organs and crispy percussion, the Virginian breakthrough delivers fluent bars without getting the listener lost in complex patterns or schemes. “King” carries a refreshing sound indeed and will also be featured on Ill’s upcoming album, “A Different Mind”.
