NO RAPPER LEFT BEHIND: KY MOVEMENT Volume: 8
The past few months have been filled with a bunch of local music venue appearances for the i4i media organization as well as myself. Just about everywhere we’ve gone we’ve managed to run into this sort of annoying little rappin dude by the name of Bonanza. Don’t get it twisted when I say annoying though. I guess a better word would be persistent. He’s like one of those salesmen that tries and tries to sell you some shit that both you and he know you want but you just don’t want to pay for it. Better yet, the best way to describe this dude’s first mixtape Big Bonus would be kind of like my late ass infatuation with myspace. At first I was skeptical, then I tried, and now I be god damned if I’m not hooked.

After more than three minutes of straight cow shit talking on the Homeymill produced "Big Bonus (Intro)" Bonanza leaves the listener vastly awaiting more wit heavy bars from the Louisville MC. He goes on to exclaim "every bar’s clean, you can say I spit bars of soap" on the smooth and modern boom bap feeling "I’m In (Opening)." Novakane Beatz continues his commanding board nature with an outstanding sound concept on "The Run" where Bonanza literally runs laps all over the standout banger.

Bonanza displays an undeniable knack for kicking shit off the dome on the mixtape’s numerous freestyles but his supporting cast takes away from his significance on more than just one occasion. On the heartfelt "Struggle" Bonanza pens one for everybody who has some questions about the everyday bullshit that comes with this life we all live. On the funky as fuck and self-produced "You Understand Me" Bonanza kicks some old school verbals, allowing his obvious versatility to shine even brighter than the last track.

I’m sure some of you who are reading this have probably been poking around J-Mall and this dude has ran up on you and demanded that you pay him some money for his CD. In most cases I would say don’t fuck with it but in this particular instance I must say you might wanna drop it off. You see, this isn’t your ordinary local release. First off, there’s not a single industry beat, the material is actually pretty enticing, and the shits even comes in plastic wrap. If Louisville continues to move this way then look for Bonanza Presh to be one of your top five local and climbing artist within the next calendar easily.
