Kidz in the Hall

  • 701131817_l_large

Kidz in the Hall's Ivy League-educated MC Naledge and producer Double-O defiantly proclaimed School Was My Hustle on their 2006 debut, but as with Kanye, don't take the academic shtick at face value. The duo's nods to the Golden Age are closer to Pharcyde's mugging than KRS-One's lesson plans. Check the breakout single "Drivin' Down the Block," which playfully tweaks hip-hop's "swerve and tip" car fetishism — even if Double-O's Outkast-riffing 808 beat would sound perfect blasting out of any DUB-featured custom.
