The Minnesota MC known as Kaboose first made noise with numerous stand-out appearances on the Syntax Records NIGHT OWLS compilations. His Syntax full-length debut, EXCUSE ME, sees the Minneapolis native spitting positive, introspective lyrics that blend Bible quotes with contemporary street-oriented observations and autobiographical vignettes. Kaboose passes the mic to Royce da 5'9" on the underground rap anthem "Goin' Outta Control" and pays tribute to his homeland on "The Land of Lakes."
