Kublakai - Lights For The Dark Nights EP

"A masterpiece of an EP..." - abovegroundmag.com

In 2008 Kublakai unleashed his first solo album, The Basics. Seventeen tracks that covers a variety of topics, ranges in mood and is continuously intelligent. Once the album dropped, the critics started to rave. “Fresh… Fun… Dynamic… Entertaining… Comes out swinging… Drum conscious flow that is both urgent and conversational.” says The Stranger . His buzz steadily growing, he took his show on the road, booking the “206 degrees and rising tour” with himself and some of Seattle’s other finest hip hop acts.

In August of the same year, Kublakai, who had teamed up with other Northwest heavyweights, MC Type and Producer Captain Midnite created the group The Let Go and released their collaborative project titled Tomorrow Handles That. Together they toured the West Coast with indie Legend Louis Logic and stirred up a buzz in the hip hop community. Since then, The Let Go has toured two more times nationally and was picked up by Canada’s independent record label Camobear Records. Camobear will release their sophomore effort in 2010, tentatively titled Morning Comes. As 2008 came to a close, the buzz for Kublakai’s album was revamped through more excellent reviews, “one giant leap for Northwest Hip Hop” (performer magazine online) and a placement on Rapreviews.com’s top 10 list. The list included some of hip hop's biggest names like Atmosphere, Q-tip and Santogold. Just proof that his talent was real and his debut album was only the beginning.

Now in 2009, Kublakai releases his sophomore effort, a collaborative project with friend and producer Slouch entitled Lights for the Dark Nights.
