Serious Klein is a German rap artist that I was not all that too familiar with before stumbling upon this track, and “Lil Capo” has already become one of my favorite international rap songs this year. Rascal supplied the addicting production that is brought together by head knocking percussion and a whining flute melody that adds a great, vibrant texture to the instrumental. His flows are effortless and his inflections change quickly with little hang up. Lyrically this song is top-notch, and “Lil Capo” is apparently a tribute to Klein’s father. I am truly so impressed by this song and had to talk about it even though it is right around a month old.
