Dom Kennedy - 'Get Home Safely' (Top songs + Review)

Fresh off my review of Dom Kennedy's new Get Home Safely album, here are the songs that left the greatest impression on me. Check out why and take a listen after the jump.

My review of Get Home Safely can be found here on HipHopHundred.

Recounting past experiences, "17" is driven by layered hi-hats and a hurry-up flow during the second verse that adds my kind of bounce to it.

I call this the most lyrically astute cut in my review for a reason. Dom makes his case with two thorough verses over funky horns, and the second verse is especially rigorous. Maybe I just appreciate the Kurt Rambis reference.

"I'm tryna ball like Jalen Rose" begins another one of Dom's distinct flows over light banjos and toasting glasses. The Krondon feature is worth it word to Frank Drebin.

A plush, ideal example of Dom's lounge sound. Talking that "street knowledge" with a personal, symbolic tone around the theme.


More bounce from Dom, speaking on dreams deferred and stealing polo shirts to wear to school.

An altered, high-pitched vocal sample supports a personal tone from Dom.

NEW MUSIC: Nipsey Hussle Feat. Sade & James Fauntleroy - "If U Were Mine"

The west coast Marathon rapper returns with the DJ Drama-hosted Crenshaw tape. Going through the project, this feature obviously caught my attention. Producer Jiggy Hendrix applies a sample from Sade's "Cherish The Day" record, giving Hussle a lush template to kick his direct and raspy bars. Fauntleroy on the ad-libs. Check out the wonderfully sampled cut and stream the full Crenshaw mixtape after the jump.
