Isaiah & Hovey

My friend Isaiah Clements recently released a rap album.  Isaiah met his producer Hovey while attending VCU in Richmond, Virginia.  All songs were written and recorded in Richmond.  Isaiah and Hovey performed at local bars and venues in Richmond periodically throughout the year, and they now have a loyal fan base there.  My favorite track on the album is "I Really Enjoy Those Girls."  Isaiah is the next Kid Cudi- his smooth flow and interesting vocabulary combined with Hovey's poppy synth back beats have created a refreshing style of hip hop that is independent and aesthetically poetic.
