Golden Era is a fun piece of nostalgia from Minneapolis-based rapper Vision the Kid. Released as a mixtape via Be Easy Records, it shows Vision the Kid spitting expertly over a series of classic ’90s beats (courtesy of Noam the Drummer). For an eclectic hip-hop listening experience it’s an awesome listening experience, often shifting between melodies every half-minute or so. Certain shifts are flat-out brilliant – like at 03:28, when an energetic hip-hop delivery shifts to a suave and mellow piece of R&B, with this followed by a take on soulful funk before returning to more energetic hip-hop. This is a very well-balanced release that touts Vision the Kid’s eclectic delivery, showing precisely why was voted ‘Best Local Rapper’ in the Minneapolis publication Vita.mn.
