Kidd Called Quest releases “Relate” featuring Jaz-O, Pretty Bulli, Ken-C, and Curtis Coke.
Prolific Rochester, NY Producer Kidd Called Quest has returned with an all-star video/single that transverses 50 years of Hip-Hop. “Relate” aka “Never Give You up 2” was inspired by part 1 (which appears on the recently released Ken-C project The Kendrick Cole EP, which was also fully produced by Kidd).
Testifying on their own spiritual awakening and treasured hip-hop memories on the track include St. Paul, MN’s Ken-C, Buffalo, NY’s Pretty Bulli (fresh off an appearance on Sway In The Morning), Rochester’s Curtis Coke (just off tour with 38 Spesh) and the legendary “Originator” himself Jaz-O.
The video was fully animated in A-I by HIPHOPIZLYFE as Kidd said “it would be nearly impossible to get everyone in the same city due to scheduling and this option actually turned out as exactly as I envisioned it.” On reaching out to Jaz-O for the track Kidd also related “everyone on the track relates their personal experiences with hip-hop but I definitely wanted someone to relate about the earliest days of it and I have always wanted to work with Jaz-O.”
In addition to The Kendrick Cole EP, Kidd is already working on a follow-up project as well as producing an LP for Pretty Bulli (to be titled Then And Now). Curtis Coke is readying an album with Dee Jay Sight (who is Kidd Called Quest’s biological brother).
