Better late than never, right? Just in time for Cinco De Mayo, Duck Down lets loose the Kidz In The Hall’s first single “Pour It Up,” which features the trill OG himself. Shout out to the Brothers Rosenthal who make cameos throughout.

Pour something up today.

Shot on location in Naledge’s childhood home, as well as various spots around Chicago. V-I is on the assist, and this is either my favorite, or second favorite record on Occasion. Gotta love Vic’s verse, no?

One thing I’ve always respected about Naledge and Double O, is that throughout their career, they’ve consistently reached out to up and coming artists and given them a chance to shine on a bigger platform.

Whether it be Chip Tha Ripper, Black Milk or Vic Mensa, it’s clear that the Kidz have a great eye for bright talent. So it’s only right that they recruited some of Chicago’s new class for the remix of their red hot single “Pour It Up.” King Louie, Vic Spencer, Rockie Fresh and Paypa spazz out over Double O’s “Triggerman”-inspired soundscape. Chicago hates you? Not here, and not today.

I’d also like to invite you to purchase the Kidz new album Occasion now. It’s that perfect holiday gift. Ha!

Recently, Ology Media caught up with Naledge and Double-0 for a quick Q&A session covering their new album, being one hit record away and more. They even talk about how their collaborations with Freddie Gibbs and Killa Kyleon came about.

A few weeks ago, I linked with Naledge to preview Kidz In The Hall’s fourth album; the aptly titled, Occasion. We met at Soundscape Studios on a cold and rainy Chicago afternoon to enjoy a vibrant and fun record, despite the shitty weather that loomed outside.

I’d gotten a taste of the album this past summer, when Naledge played me a handful of joints that were intended to make the cut. But we had to reconvene to hear the finished product–mixed, mastered and ready for roll out. On booming studio speakers, no less.

The Kidz’ last effort, Land Of Make Believe, was supposed to be their big breakthrough album, and while it impressed critics and garnered decent fanfare, it failed to have the same impact as its predecessor, the perfectly timed The In Crowd. Unhappy yet undeterred by the results of Land Of Make Believe, MC Naledge and producer Double O returned to the studio with a new approach– a lot of which was captured on their straight-to-internet MTV 2 series Here Now.

Late last week, Naledge and Double O with Bun B in tow shot the video for “Pour It Up” in NYC. It appears the crew jacked a liquor store (No Mikkey Halsted) for their set. It also looks like the brothers Rosenthal make a cameo. Looking forward to seeing this clip as this is a big record.

Occasion drops 11.22.11. Hit the jump for more pics (courtesy of Village Slum)
