Queensbridge’s rap legacy speaks for itself, the namesake Houses having historically spawned hip-hop icons like MC Shan, Nas and Havoc of Mobb Deep. Kiing Shooter represents his storied yet underrated hood, speaking less on the street dreams of the past than the realities of living and hustling there in the present. Still Outside captures the spirit of the place he’s called home, evident on gritty cuts like “Gettin to It” and the baton-passing intro “Shooter vs Chill Will”. He steps outside the borough to commingle with like-minded raw spitters, tapping Harlem’s Dave East for the learned concerns of “Life Like This” and Brooklyn’s Uncle Murda for the unfiltered criminality of “Losses”.
