The name says it all. It’s like nothing you’ve heard before but once you have, it rolls around your mind indefinitely. With a style unique and all his own, Kublakai is part cynic, part comedian, part passionate poet and full-time lyricist – Kublakai steps onto the music scene bringing a new style the hip hop medium is thirsty for. In 2006, Kublakai dropped the change, a ten-track mixtape that sold out and put him on stages around the Northwest playing local hot-spots like Nectar, Neumos and a sold out Chop Suey.
“On The Basics' opening, Koobles comes out swinging all over the drums, his elastic, drum-conscious flow both urgent and conversational. The influence of big bad Brother Ali is unmistakable—he has that singsongy-faux-preacher thing going on at times, and like indie-hop's favorite albino, presents a narration combining an earthy homespun wisdom and a humorous sense of the absurd.” -- Larry Mizell Jr. of The Stranger
Now after a little under two-years, in January 2008, kublakai drops “The Basics”. His first full length fully produced solo debut. In it, he tackles subjects like gossip in the comical track “Whisper, Whisper”, to the struggles of being an underground MC in “Talk That Talk” to the powerful anthem track about the power of being self-informed in “Power Food.” With help from some of Seattle’s best producers including Sebino, Captain Midnite, Grieves, Slouch, Nphared and BeanOne , Kublakai has created an album that is destined to be yet another gem on the ever-growing hip hop stage.
