Rich Hill Teams Up With Kid Cudi For New Single
Rich Hill collaborates with Kid Cudi, Boo Bonic to produce new material
Rich Hill puts the work ethic of my college years to shame. This nineteen year old has continually worked 72 hour work weeks in the studio and has produced over 700 songs, freestyles, and mixtapes in a span of two years. When I was nineteen I drank copious amounts of chocolate milk in our college cafeteria totaling to about twenty gallons in two years. Though admirable, Rich Hill out does me any day. The young MC recently completed a new single with Kid Cudi to be featured on his new mixtape Limos Nostra Act 1. The sound of "Won't You Tell Me" could easily blend in to Cudi's 2009 release The Man on the Moon, but the song's strong backbone of bass and twinkling piano comes all from Hill. For such a young kid, Hill exhibits a mature voice that keeps up with Cudi's vocals on the chorus. If this is any indication of what the Limo Nostra mixtape will be like, it's sure to be a huge step for Hill and a soon to be favorite on my headphones. Hill also found time to cut a music video for his single "Where Did They Come From" which features guest vocalist Boo Bonic and Hill running through Las Vegas a la The Hangover. Check out the video for "Where Did They Come From" on YouTube and listen to "Won't You Tell Me" below. Limos Nostra Act 1 is due out later this year.
