Oh hell yes. Our BURNIN’ UP feature this time around comes from the burgeoning BASED producer, Keyboard Kid. You may have noticed him releasing beat-tape downloads this year like a beast (The Mind Is So Complex When You’re Based is one of his best releases), and you also might have seen his name attached to a bunch of tunes that have a certain rapper that has risen to the stratosphere of internet fame. Yes, as one of Lil B’s production mainstays, Keyboard Kid has maintained a strong sense of spacial symbolism for B’s intensive hip-hop therapy sessions, but has also found ways to create that stand out on their own, similar to another producer protege, Clams Casino. Recently, Keyboard Kid has found ways to include new influences and inspirations into his productions, perhaps dipping his sounds into the territory of producers like URB favorite Sinjin Hawke, whilst taking a liking to the sounds of fresh WARP staples Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. Whatever one might hear, what’s instantly understandable about Keyboard Kid’s mix for BURNIN’ UP is the passion that’s spread across the duration of it. It’s fire, but it’s fire from the heart. Check out the link to the mix after the jump.
