Kidd Russell - Pulaski Day EP (2012)

Finding comfort in his own “sweet spot of life” as a husband and new father, Chicago musician Kip Russell is pleased to release his 3rd studio album “The Sweet Spot of Life,” available November 6. The first single “Morning Cup of Coffee” paints the picture of a perfect day that begins with a morning cup of coffee.

“It’s a simple concept, but one so many can relate to,” says Russell. “With this release, I feel like I’ve come into my own as a husband, dad and musician and I know what matters. It’s the ‘sweet’ things that bring us joy and ‘Morning Cup of Coffee’ is the perfect single to release first.”

Known for his self-released single “Pulaski Day”, celebrating a holiday Chicagoans hold dear, Russell’s “Morning Cup of Coffee” is sure to become another favorite song in Chicago and beyond. 

Russell’s fan following includes national recording artist and producer Cisco Alder who produces the song and part of the album, along with professional wrestler Colt Cabana who makes an appearance in the video. Local producer and musician, Nic Bavetta, produced several songs on the album. 

In conjunction with the release of “Morning Cup of Coffee,” Russell teamed up with Chicago food truck favorite Beaver’s Coffee + Donuts to offer complimentary Metropolis coffee and Cinnamon Sugar donuts across Chicagoland and within their location in Chicago French Market. 

Russell has enjoyed success opening for artists such as: The Roots, Matysyai, Schwayze, G Easy, Cisco Adler, G Love, The Flobots and many more. Stay tuned for a series of music videos to accompany the album release with director and award winning filmmaker Cody LaPlant.

Out Of Office - Kidd Russell & Southside Jake

Manifesting Mansions

There’s still good in this world 

All around the world people are dying 
News is lying 
Somedays when scrolling so much pain
I feel like crying 
Easy to forget 
All the progress that we’ve made 
When the world gives you lemons
You can still make lemonade 
everywhere I look you know what I see 
It’s everyday people loving friends and family 
We are in the fight of our life time 
When they spread the dark  
gotta let your light shine cause

There’s still good in this world 
there’s still love in this world 
don’t care what they do 
Or what they say 
We can be the change in 
We need to today 
Cause there’s still good 
Good in this world 

Planes they dropping bombs 
But there’s still hugs from mom 
Road trips with the top down  
Screaming lyrics to your favorite song 
Our past doesn’t define our future
Young people need a world they root for
I know we’re headed for better times 
But change starts in our minds 
Be hard on the work 
but 
Be kind to each other 
While they shooting  
Treat people like brothers 
We are in the the fight of our life time   
When they spread the dark we let let our light shine  in

There’s still good in this world 
And there’s still love in this world 
I don’t care what they do 
Or what they say 
We can be the change 
We need to today 
Cause there’s still good 
Good in this world 

Riley sing 
“There’s still good in this world”

Kidd Russell - Dear Shooter (Acoustic)

Just woke up 
My wife and daughter next to me 
I soak it up 
A morning Picasso 
If you know enough 
￼he changed my view
When I open up 
He filled my cup  
Nothing but pain 
doing it my own way 
And there is a miracle If you look every day 
look close enough 
Everything’s better in your life 
when you choose love

Know matter what the world may bring
I see god in everything 

I put tears in this song 
It’s funny when you think you're right 
He proves you wrong  
How many roses came from 
The concrete strong 
Thought I need led everything 
Till it was gone 
I still carried on 
Nothing but pain 
doing it our own way
And there’s a miracle if you look every day 
look close enough 
Everything better in your life 
when you choose love

Know matter what the world may bring
I see god in everything 


I see god in everything

Happy place 
Let me take you to my happy place 
My happy place 
Some where the sunset meets the waves 
So blue 
Not a cloud in the sky 
Living life in paradise 
So blue 
Golden rays on my face 
In my happy place 

City slicker I need a new life 
And if I am with her
I will be alright 
I found me a corner 
I bought me a slice
This island living 
I call it paradise 
Hopping on my hurricane 
Listening purple rain 
Sipping on shock top 
Dancing to this yacht rock
I’m a late bloomer 
Creator not consumer 
And all my life  
I’m guided by star light 
I can play my guitar nice 
If she plays her cards right 
Back in my captains seat  
It’s where that treasure gone be 
it’s in my (happy place) 

Happy place 
Let me take you to my happy place 
My happy place 
Some where the sunset meets the waves 
So blue 
Not a cloud in the sky 
Living life in paradise 
So blue 
Sun on my face 
In my happy place 

I’m always up
when my anchor is down 
I feel at home 
when I can’t be be found 
The water is clear 
The sky is so blue
Enjoying the ride 
As long as I navigate with you 
Man we beach side chill 
Out in margaritaville 
Put another on the grill 
I’m just living how I feel 
Low
Like the tide so low 
Slow 
Where time moves slow
And we wile’n 
On this island 
Sunset looks like l
Gods smiling 
At me 
Follow the x out to sea
Where that treasure gone 

Happy place 
Let me take you to my happy place 
My happy place 
Some where the sunset meets the waves 
So blue 
Not a cloud in the sky 
Living life in paradise 
So blue 
Sun on my face 
In my happy place 

Sipping on a hi li 
Man this is the high life 
Hanging wit my lady she be looking like a princes bride 
Play a little Marley or some chesney I’ll be alright 
I’ll be alright 
I’ll be alright
You ain’t gotta tell me it’s 5 o’clock somewhere 
Coconut rum on an island doesn’t compare 
I’ll be alright 
I’ll be alright
Sweet spot of life with 
My Drinks on ice 
Out here I can get away from the world 
Anchors down 
With my hand around my girl 
Feet in the water 
Thoughts in the breeze 
Don’t try to find me 
You’ll know where I’ll be 
In my happy place 

Happy place 
Happy place 
I dream I dream 
When I’m in my Happy place 
Happy place 
Happy place 
I sing I sing 
When I’m in my happy place 
Put your anchors down 
In a place that can’t be found 
I don’t need to hear a sound 
In my happy place anymore

A poignant, powerful video from one of Chicago's fastest rising stars. The track was inspired by the heartbreaking incident at Virginia Tech, and in an unfortunate twist of fate, was recorded on February 14th, 2008. After finishing the session Kidd jumped in his car and turned on the radio, and only then learned of the shooting at nearby Northern Illinois University. The video's debut is extremely timely. With the country at war, school shootings still prevalent, and random gun violence ramping up (Kidd's hometown of Chicago is having one of its most violent summers in history), Kidd is spreading a positive message that needs to be heard.

If you've been to our live shows you know this song well and its a fan favorite. We appreciate everyone whose donated cell phones, knee pads, change, $$, phones numbers and especially weed to my homeless DJ during our live shows. 

DJ blaze and I recorded this song almost a year ago on a random summer day. Blaze was um....between homes after breaking up with his lady and I was giving him shit about it. I was like dude you live in bus stations, on couches and where ever you can and you have no money bro your "homeless." It was tough times for both of us but especially blaze. Recording this song made us laugh about his difficult situation and is one of our staples during live shows. It's a true story about John and his hilarious life as the homeless DJ but you do what you gotta do to chase your dreams. If you ever meet blaze he is the happiest dude on the planet. If you see him put a doller in his box, some change, cigs, weed, knee pads, your phone number anythings helps.

Lyrics:

I said pop champaign
pop pop champaign 
while the government spends another billon the campaign
and banks are to big to fail 
but what about my parents 
i guess they too small 
thats apparent 
I'm sick of politicians acting more embarrasing than me or you
and then they over play it on the evening news
the government is like the wwe 
so please vote cm punk for commander and chief
the internet has killed the middle man 
and middle america is falling of the little map 
but the black eyed peas stopped making where is the love 
and the radio won't playing anything that sounds like dear momma
its all auto tuned recycled, gieco 
for labels to scared to let us be michael 
its like they all lost they heart 
now they all standing in the dark 
we need spark 
if your having girl problems 
i feel bad for you son i gott 99 problems but my bitch ain't one

chorus

verse 2 
number your brain just numb your brain 
while your to blind to see that the world needs change
they built the system 
its crashing down on us 
the put the cameras up 
they spying on us 
this aint the same country I used to read about in history 
their pills don't cure disease they sell our jobs overseas 
we used had more pride and integrity 
our money problems can be solved just legalize the weed
and radio won't play what I have to say 
thats why I pray 
for change everyday 
thank god the internets been good to me 
it equalizes opportunities and throws away their keys
and I need that cuz times are hopeless 
and I vote but I still feel voiceless 
I'm just speaking for the underdogs 
its like politicians never hear our monologe 
unless we bono yall 
if your having girl problems I feel bad for you son 
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one 
hit me

Jay Z - 99 Problems (Rendition) by Kidd Russell

For this addition of our beer & hip hop series we decided to flip Zac Brown Bands song "knee deep" and create an original. This song is called "music is my medicine" which is a line from Zac Browns song sung during Jimmy Buffets verse. I think this came out pretty chill.
