	MP3: Kid Static - "T-Shirts & Sneakers"	04.24.2012


	Second Single From It Gleams Continues Kid Static's Run Of Genre-Bending Tracks

The Song: On June 1st, Los Angeles-via-Chicago rapper Kid Static will release his latest album, *It Gleams, via Cobra Music. Earlier this month, accompanying the album's announcement, Static released the album's lead single, and accompanying video, for the song "Moonlight," and today, Static is excited to release the album's second official single, "T-Shirts & Sneakers." The song, which premiered today on HipHopDX, is a product, through-and-through, of Kid Static's efforts. Static produced the track himself, and, as a testament to his abilities not only as a lyricist but also as a vocalist, delivered the song's powerful, repeating hook in one take. As for his inspiration in laying the track, look no further then Static's seemingly overrun closet. "This song is for all the t-shirts and sneakers I own," remarks Static. "Seriously, half my wardrobe is t-shirts, and the other half is sneakers. I have shoes from 2007 that I haven't even worn yet, and that's insane to me." But while the track is meant to be a fun take on looking fresh, there's also a more serious undertone. "Don't worry about stupid shit like shoes and t-shirts," remarks Kid Static, with a laugh. "The funny thing is, now I wear all black Chucks and don't even worry about it."

The Background: Born and raised in Chicago, Kid Static* started writing music to the sound of electronic drums emanating from his computer. Static’s music was truly different than anything released by the Chicago underground and was soon featured in almost every local publication, and lauded as the “next up” in various online media like XLR8R and Pitchfork. Kid Static's latest album, *It Gleams, represents the beginning of the maturation of this unique artist. Listen to the music and you hear not only a clever wordsmith with a jagged sense of humor, but also a musician with a keen gift for composition. It Gleams* with be released on June 1st, via Cobra Music.
