Track Review : Summer K - Till Dawn II

The local hip hop scene despite falling way way behind dancehall and sungura has its own battles that are going on. A lot of the guys are working hard trying to break into the mainstream and make a name for themselves. Now with the perception many Zimbos have towards local hip hop such a breakthrough becomes very very hard to come by. Summer K is one guy who is trying to make a name for himself on the hip hop scene. He released the track Till Dawn II more than two weeks ago, so how does it fare???

The track was produced by Quillz and he did a good job. They went for a DJ Mustard kind of structure. The instrumental is sounding good, drop it at a party and people will get down. This track is made for the party and beat gets you into a party mood. Nice work on the production.

This track is about partying, partying Till Dawn. Personally am not that much into turn up hip hop except if its really dope like Zunguza. However Summer K gave a great performance here, he managed to complement the instrumental very well. His rapping style is more kwaito and is different to what many people are used to, the hip hop heads that is. The hook is quite nice and it got me bumping my head.

In overall this is a nice track. For someone who is looking forward to make a name for himself in the local hip hop industry this is a commendable effort. It will not necessarily give him the mainstream breakthrough he is aiming for but it will get a number of people interested and his next offerings will decide if he makes the breakthrough.

What are your thoughts on the track???
