One of the few Wisconsin artists that happens to continually find his stature climb is rapper/producer Klassik.
Klassik, in my opinion, is one of those rare talents that can compose music that feels like a breath of fresh air, even if it doesn't exactly hit every groove you'd like on every single occasion.
You can tell that Klassik is pushing himself and the boundaries of his music, and there are many people around him that benefit from that. Artists like Frankie Flowers, iOye!, Blizz McFly, Rtystic, and Direc are some of the people that have been well complemented by work from Klassik.
If he'll do it, Klassik is a guy that any quality rapper or singer should try to work with in whatever capacity he makes himself available – rapper or producer.
Recently, he released a music video for the song "We Up/Everybody Down" that features Blizz McFly, a SAFS Crew member that I'm getting to know better musically myself. The video is put together very nicely and was directed by TBZ.
