WILT: [Proverb.] the poet - [For the Kids.]

What I'm Listening To:

[Proverb.] the poet's - [For the Kids.]

I got a hold of this a little while ago with a slew of other albums and just now got around to loading it into iTunes and the iPod.

I learned he's an 18 year old honor student from San Diego who will soon be studying Music Technology at NYU via a Steinhardt Scholarship.

He also recently held down the #2 sales spot at HolyCultureDownload.com.

*****************************

Proverb reminds me a bit of the young Braille Brizzy. Quality, artsy beats and lyrics that are particularly surprising when you learn the MC's age.

(Side note: He looks a little bit like Will Smith's son Jaden too.)

I'll definitely be giving it a few more spins soon.
