Ill Clinton is back with a sequel to his creation SKYWALKEN entitled SKYWALKEN Vol. 2 (ok so the title isn't mind-blowing, but that's the only thing that isn't dope as fuck.) At a time when so many beats sound the same and so many artists play it safe, Ill Clinton is pushing the boundaries...hell he isn't pushing them, he jumped over them and is 20 feet beyond. Need some examples, how about on "Fog" where he uses an extremely slowed down guitar (I think it is a guitar) with knocking drums and some random noises that tend to creep you out, really, listen to this track with the lights out and you will be checking over your shoulder...I am very curious to hear an MC attempt to rhyme over this. Or how about "Transmissions", where you have so many layers that enter into your ear at different pitches you find yourself a bit disoriented, while being sucked in so much and so intrigued you cannot take off your headphones. Oh and by the way...you need to check this album out with quality headphones to really get the effect, if you play this through your computer speakers you are missing out (that goes for most music.) The entire album takes you off to some very odd places, dark, funny, and fascinating...I fear Ill Clinton is trying to take us inside his own mind and an artist's mind is not for everyone but if you give it the chance and dive in without fear you will find it is a wonderful place. So enough of my rambling, go get the album now and prepare yourself.
You can stream and download the album here.
