Clinton Sparks Presents Kardinal Offishall
Label:
white label
Clinton Sparks Present Do The Right Thing Mixtape, hosted by and featuring Toronto's biggest hip-hop export, Kardinal Offishall, starts off by answering the question of the year: "Is hip-hop dead?" Spike Lee's incomparable movie Do The Right Thing, heavily influences the theme of the mixtape, even down to the artwork. The hot 90s' instrumentals that feature, bind this vision, allowing Kardinal to give CPR to a dying mixtape game. After signing to Akon's Konvict Records, Kardinal seems ready to put the ups and downs of hip-hop behind him, and on several occasions even hooks up with his boss to create some meaningful music. The content of this release is catchy and imaginative, allowing the listener to reminisce on the good old days, brought back to the present by Canada's finest. With features including Little Brother, Bishop Lamont and Total, this potential classic mixtape deserves a massive push. Do the right thing, go and cop it for free at www.clintonsparks.com!
