Dom Kennedy – From The Westside With Love II (REVIEW)

Cop Westside II on iTunes.

Dom Kennedy has always fell through the cracks for me. Whenever his music was passed through my inbox or been slipped into my dashboard, I’ve never been one to gravitate towards it. Not that there’s anything all too offensive about it, but rarely have I heard anything exceptional enough to differentiate between the middle of the road, Hypebeast arena rappers of today. From the Westside with Love left very little impact on me last year and 2009′s FutureStreet/DrugSounds was even less compelling to me. Dom, the self professed “best Kennedy after Bobby”, fairs better with me on the sequel, but I still have some hangups.

Dom Kennedy deserves it more than anybody. I truly believe this guy is the next big thing in Hip Hop, with the West on his back.

“Jumpin, this my introduction. Mom calls me Dom girl I smash it like a pumpkin.”

First song off of Dom’s highly-anticipated From the Westside With Love II. Even though I’m a huge Big Sean stan and I’ve been out in Brooklyn making cameos in Fabolous videos (Shouts to Bauce Sauce), Dom Kennedy is hands down my favorite artist right now. Shit, the first Westside tape still gets heavy play ’round these parts. The beat was produced by Taylor Gang affiliate Cardo “Cardo on the beat” and samples this Houston cut from Big Mike. Westside II droppin’ 6.28.11.

P.S. Dom Kennedy’s “Leimert Park where we stay ‘n shit” girl > Rick Ross’ “M-M-Maybach Music” girl
