Albums, Hip-Hop, Pop | Shwayze & Cisco – Over & Over ft. Kendrick Lamar & Sophie Stern

Posted by on September 14, 2011

Shwayze & Cisco have had one scorching summer. From Shwayze’s first major hit, “Love Letter”, which featured The Cataracs, to some of their smaller scale beachy beats such as “Summertime Music” and “You Could Be My Girl”, Shwayze & Cisco have innovated nothing short of the best ‘summertime music’.  With their very chilling album, “Island In The Sun” which hit shelves Tuesday, I realized there are not many duos who are capable of creating a similar sound.  The only real exception being Radical Something, who also had a very successful summer, breaking out of the gates with some very zesty tunes.  But really, when the suns out, Shwayze & Cisco belong in the speakers.

I haven’t had a chance to listen to the album through fully yet, but from the half I’ve heard, this track could very well be my favorite. I can’t say I expected to see Kendrick Lamar as one of the few features on this project, but after hearing it, I couldn’t be happier with the decision.  The first time I’ve heard K. Dot over this time of beat and the first time I realized how versatile he really is.
