Having been informed by Branden, a kid at school, I was opened to a rap artist Branden promotes: Billy Clough A.K.A Billy the Kid. Initially, I was nervous about what music a 20-year-old was capable of liking, because I'm an old fart and have little to no faith in today's youth. 

I was pleasantly surprised by Billy the Kid, especially his song "In It to Win It" from his album Only the Beginning. I appreciate any new generation rapper scraping together good ole' day hip-hop, Motown-esque goodness and balancing it with modern-styled beats. Rap artists in Buffalo seem to be underplayed, so here's one for Buffalo.
