Chicago emcee Kid Sister finally released her long awaited and anticipated album, Ultraviolet (a total of 3 years in the making). Kid Sister has risen straight out of the the Chicago electro scene and this album is proof, just look at the album credits. The tracks on this album are produced by some of the most sought after and talented producers in electronic music today including Rusko, Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso, Sinden, XXXChange, Brian Kennedy, Herve, Yuksek, and DJ Gant-Man, not to mention her brother J2k of Flosstradamus and her boyfriend Fools Gold Records exec. and superstar DJ A-Track. Its not hard to see how this more a dance album than it is a rap album. I love Kid Sister, she stole my heart when her music first started surfacing in 2007. Unfortunately the album is defiantly not what it has been hyped up to be over the last 3 years (its kinda hard to live up to that much hype anyway). Almost half the album is old material that has been out for quite sometime. All of that said it is understandable why some might be unenthusiastic and even disappointed with Ultraviolet. Nonetheless, Ultraviolet (even if a year or two late) is an innovative fusion of club rap and electronic music that only continues to grow in popularity and demand. The album is seamlessly mixed from track to track creating a continuous mix that feels like a DJ set. This continuity only exists in transition due to the variety in styles throughout from disco to juke to dub-step. Kid Sister’s debut is a solid album. She has proven she can make some really bang’n music I just hope it doesn’t take as long next time.
