Kyle Rapps – God-Like [Stream]

“God-Like” is the first release for Kyle’s upcoming album “Colossus Theory”, solely produced by Vulkan the Krusader. The two met in the NYC rap scene a few years back and last year Kyle called upon Vulkan for production on his Mishka sponsored Hefna Gwap collaboration, European Tic Tacs. Vulkan has since made a name for himself as producer for the track “Excuse Me” off A$AP Rocky’s latest album “At.Long.Last.A$AP”. Look for “Colossus Theory” to drop this fall and to feature Rapp’s perverted bassy delivery to accompany Vulkan’s signature cinematic style of production. Artwork by Ernesto Ortega.

But don’t do it in our neighborhoods; that’s all we got,” he says. The Atlanta-based rapper then ensures to convey that it’s not a “black and white issue,” rather an economic one.
