Hip-hop Genius: Kasbo – Bleed It Out (feat. NEA)
Kasbo
“Bleed It Out” (featuring NEA)
This is a beautiful song. The scattering rhythm, almost sounding like the tune is skipping, fit the beauty of NEA’s voice and just points out all that great production work that makes Kasbo king of hip-hop. Gothenburg, Sweden based producer Kasbo (Carl Garbso) is proud to drop his new single. As his press says:
When talking about the track Kasbo says, “This song like one of my other released tunes “World Away” is mainly inspired by my backpacking trip through China and Vietnam. Travelling around this place that has a complete different culture and way of life gave me a very uneasy feeling but was also very intriguing, and going there with your friends it was just a whole mess of emotions. Familiarity, clashing with fear in a complete foreign environment. There are so many new impressions during such a short time, things going on everywhere, a lot of the places we visited were extremely chaotic while at the same time very alluring. It was something that at first stemmed some kind of anxiety within me but something I grew to love, was kind of a beautiful chaos.”
Through chaos comes order, and this song typifies that coming together of chaos into order. Kasbo is a genius, and NEA’s voice makes Kasbo’s genius even more stunningly apparent.
