Chicago rapper Kembe X's latest cut is a display of confidence; confidence in his lyricism, his complex rhymes, and his Village 777 crew. The confidence isn't unwarranted, either: "Feeling Like The Man" is three minutes of impressive bars over a jazzy beat from Opi Tayler, three minutes during which Kembe reminisces about what his life used to be, celebrates how it is now, and brushes aside anything that anyone tells him otherwise.
