Kokayi › [AUDIO] Kokayi - “RoxTar” - From The Forthcoming ‘Robots & Dinosaurs’ LP

QN5 Music is mega-proud to announce the release of “RoxTar”- the debut single from Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter/emcee/producer, Kokayi.

Taken from his forthcoming QN5-debut album Robots & Dinosaurs, “RoxTar” is presented in two separate flavors: [THRASH] and [BOUNCE]. We at QN5 understand that some of our less-adventurous listeners may prefer a more traditional hip hop feel to the bombastic thrashing rock drums – so we’ve made both available to let you pick your favorite. Hell, we’ve even included an acapella (rare) for all you beat-whores to make your own version.

As a founding member and lead songwriter of the AfroPunk/Electro/Hip-Hop band, theCaesarz, Kokayi knows his shit when it comes to that ‘ole fashioned rock & roll’ (© Bob Seager). Over this self-produced track, Koke shouts out all purveyors of the hard-rock ethic, name dropping his way to make the point that, indeed, “Everybody wanna be a RoxTar” in 2010. Can you name all the bands he mentions?

SO much QN5 music so fast! What greatness.

Any news on who is executive producing the album?

 

wrestler1256 said on Aug 29, 2010:

I would assume Koke is the executive producer

 

KaRaKaKaShK said on Aug 29, 2010:

Yeah, but usually QN5 albums that are non-CL have two exec. producers (commonly Tone, who has a great track record with doing it). Although Kokayi does seem like the type that might be able to do it all himself… hmmmmmm we shall see

DAMN, this hits the stop right now! Can’t decide which version I like more…

KaRaKaKaShK said on Aug 31, 2010:

Fuck yes for the rock version! I love me some live instruments!!!!! I was still a WEEE bit skeptical about Kokayi, but that is officially a thing of the past. Robots and Dinosaurs can’t come soon enough. I love songs where the artist actually goes through with a concept and doesn’t half ass it.

Kokayi made a hip-hop song called rockstar that wasn’t corny as all fuck. That alone deserves a trophy, but the fact that what he crafted is completely and utterly badass?
Tits. This song is tits.

The drums fucking rock in the car. Yessir.

if there is one thing i fucking love about QN5 is ill listen to a song on my ipod or computer via headphones, think the track is fucking insane production wise. Then i will go into my car or put it on the system at the house, and be like holy shit this production is beyond production.

Yeah, QN5 hasn’t really been tested until the whip test. I’ve only been driving for about 2 1/2 months and for example, the first time I heard My Lady in the car. OMFG.
