Oh snap! K.I.H.T. is back from the dead, bay area style! On today’s plate we have Young L from the pack out doin’ his thang on this new joint, Young L-E-N. This beat is just ill. It’s got some break-beat dubstep type stagger and some definite electro influence too.

I will say that hyphy has been on point with the addition of electro-type noises into their music for a long time now. It was certainly an element that drew me into the music. Here’s an example:

J-Diggs – The Call Ft. The Thizz Kidz [link is broken temporarily - sorry!]

Just listen to that beat — straight fidget wobbles! And that was circa early 2008. It’s a shame that the movement lost so much steam. Shitty promoters and DJs around the bay ruined it for everyone! 94.9 and 106.1 are laiden with auto-tune and R&B bullshit on the regular. It’s quite unfortunate.

Anyways, the lyrics could use some work, but the video and beat are just redic.
