Kardinal Bloo has dropped off a new album called Birds Rap Too. Kardinal Bloo is a rapper/ bassist of Haitian descent from Arlington, Tx. While Kardinal’s always had a passion for music, he didn’t start creating tracks until he was studying medicine & psychology at the University of North Texas in Denton, initially under the name BlackFace Alien (BFA). Denton proved an excellent starting ground rife with open mics, house shows, and small venues that allowed Kardinal to master his stagecraft alongside his lyricism, giving birth to the style he likes to call “class conscious rap nonsense”. Kardinal Bloo earned a reputation for being an exhilarating and charming performer, which lead to him opening up for the likes of R.A.P. Ferreira and almost Homebody Sandman (a very annoying story he’ll tell you if you ask) before leaving Denton. As of 2024, Kardinal Bloo is based out of Austin, Texas. His latest album, Birds Rap Too, is a potent, expressive new album that showcases Kardinal’s expansive sense of creativity, deft lyrical ability, and outside-the-box sound. With character-rich flows, potent instrumentation, and thoughtful concepts, Birds Rap Too is a refreshing burst of raw creativity that hip-hop needs at the moment.
With songs like “The Bird In Us” that captivate with soaring instrumentals and engaging lyricism, as well as intriguing joints like “SkiddleDeeDoo”, Birds Rap Too is a sonic journey that stimulates at each chance. Keeping listeners on their toes and having them never quite knowing what to expect, Birds Rap Too‘s expansive tracks like “Life is Jarring” provide a refreshing take on alternative hip-hop. Give Birds Rap Too a listen here now.
