In a gorgeous collaboration of heavenly, puritan Hip-Hop, Virginia rapper, Kevin Calhoun, accompanied by the seraphic vocals of Breanna Martin, deliver unto us “For The World”. The record is a four minute thanks to God for blessing our DMV emcee with the basic essence of life. As he mentions through sharp, thought-provoking bars, Kevin Calhoun does not have the ideal life. Poverty, and myriad other tribulations have chipped away at the rapper, day in and day out. Yet, what he stresses over this soulful chord progression, and jogging Golden Era drums, is that the bare luxuries of life are enough to be grateful for. Family, music, and the simple ability to breathe, that we all take for granted, these are the elements that make the struggles of life tolerable. They complete him; and for that, Kevin would not change them “For The World”. This record is radiating with wisdom and maturity. A message I am certain this talented writer wants each and every listener to internalize and value. He delivers it flawlessly; and Breanna Martin’s silky, R&B hook is the ribbon on top. Thanksgiving may be over, but it’s never too late to rejoice in all the things you’re thankful for. Do so beautifully, with Kevin Calhoun’s “For The World”.

Fresh off the heels of a stellar homage to Golden Era rap, Kevin Calhoun returns with another dynamite track; and this time, he’s bringing a little bounce along. Empowered by the luscious, R&B presence of Drizzle Gwala, the DC emcee gifts us with an ode to blooming love on the radio-ready “Shoot Your Shot”. Certainly, this three minute and thirty-seven second record has all the necessary ingredients for a commercial hit. There is an addictive, 808-driven instrumental, satisfied by trap snares and a narcotic, kick rhythm. However, if you are looking for a mindless single, this track is not for you. Despite how radio-friendly this smooth, R&B-Hop track sounds, Kevin Calhoun will never leave us short of thought-bending rhymes. He is at the pinnacle of his penmanship on “Shoot Your Shot”, putting lyricism at the forefront of his masterpiece. Just as pure, Hip-Hop should be. This creative formula Kevin Calhoun has contrived is unbelievably bulletproof; and with “Shoot Your Shot”, this talented emcee proves ready to take the mainstream by storm.
