Killa Kyleon- Candy Paint & Texas Plates

I have been revisiting all my old Houston albums from back in the day and enjoying the hell out myself. From Z-Ro's The Life of Joseph W. McVey to some of ESG's slept on classics to choice cuts from producer Mike Dean's legendary discography. The words candy paint, woodgrain, and swang are back swirling through my dome piece.

My recent lone star love fest has also led me to check back in with some of my old favorites and this couldn't have come at a better time because one of my favorite Houston rappers of all time (and one of the most underrated of all time), Killa Kyleon, has been killin' 2011 and I didn't even know it. On Thursday he will be dropping Candy Paint & Texas Plates 2, the follow up to the Mixtape of the Year that I missed in January. On the first edition of this tape, Kyleon proves why he is Houston's best lyricist and one of the greatest all-around rappers to come from the area, despite never dropping a proper solo album.

In my favorite mixtape so far this year, Killa hooks up with blog darlings Big Krit, Curren$y, and Wiz Khalifa, as well as fellow Houston MCs Z-Ro, ESG, and more. Catch up below

I also dropped his latest video "Make Me" from the upcoming follow up tape. CAN'T WAIT.
