Party Ends

 

   Happy Daze is a San Diego hip hop duo, who are getting overshadowed by the chi-town wunderkinds the Cool Kids. I love the Cool Kids and all- but if they didn't get the well deserved Flosstradamus break- it very well could have been these two.  The back and forth verses are fun, positive  and are full of plenty of clever new ways to brag. Where Cool Kids take the laid back route, Happy Daze’s Phillie P. and Vince P. resurrect the more upbeat De La Soul, Foreign Legion and dare I say-  old school Will Smith – only dirtier.  Both of the groups names’ themselves sum up the dissertation of their music.  The smooth new release the Upliftment is perfect for the summertime heat and for cruising Kanye’s blog for the latest super-hyper-colored shoes- but they are very clear: don’t call it "backpack rap"- this is real hip hop.
