{"product_id":"kail-true-hollywood-squares","title":"Kail - True Hollywood Squares","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery now and again, a rap record comes along that effortlessly walks the \nline between street-tough, gangsta grit and charming, disarming humour and \nintelligence. Think Nas or Gravediggaz' first records, or Blueprint-to-the-Black Album era Jay-Z; confident, hungry, quotable and \nimmersive music that you can listen to on repeat and lose yourself in for \ndays. We're pretty sure we've found one of these records, and in comes in \nthe shape of 'True Hollywood Squares' by LA rapper Kail.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe buzz started in his hometown, on the streets of South Central Los \nAngeles, Compton, away \"from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's sh*t\" and smack \nin the middle of the \"real motherf*cking tinsel town,\" in the \"shady hiding \nspots for all the crooks from the sets.\" Although Kail and his crew Customer \nServices are at the virtuosic level of MCing required to be a part of the \nGood Life cafe scene, it was soon noticed that Kail's tracks could also be \nheard creeping out of the windows of the kind of cars you don't cut up as \nthey crawled through South Central LA, the streets Kail calls home.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite mutterings in the background along the lines of 'this generation's \nIce Cube', Kail is 100% his own man. His personality leaps from the speakers \nwith every bar, his character rap will have the toughest listener collapse \nin the deepest belly-laughs, and essentially he just has that thing, that \nextra something, that screams 'star.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe're very pleased to announce that Kail has joined the Big Dada ranks as of \n2008, and now we just can't wait for you to hear the album. Out on April \n21st, 'True Hollywood Squares' re-imagines the iconic gameshow of the title \nthrough the eyes of, amongst others, an embittered ghetto tour guide, an \nunderage beauty just perfect for increasing your Myspace friend requests, \nand a down and out former casting agent. Along the way there's an angry \nmother leaving messages, a howling epic of true love and a freaky, camera \nshy pimp. Kail's chameleon-like voice explores this colourful array, dancing \nnimbly over self-produced thumps, bleeps and samples that make other most other rap music sound archaic.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003e'True Hollywood Squares' is a stone cold classic, the kind of record you play \nto people who don't like hip-hop just to watch them convert. This is exactly \nthe kind of rapper who makes disciples.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":62902938927263,"sku":"BDCD117","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/true-hollywood-squares-main.jpg?v=1793811694","url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/products\/kail-true-hollywood-squares","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
