Kansas City MC XV is pulling his latest musical effort from his green backpack and it is sure to be a treat for his fellow Squarians. Popular Culture features his take on songs from artists like Kendrick Lamar and Ca$h Out as well as original material such as “Be There, Be Square” – all in anticipation for his The Awesome EP, which will preface his debut album that will feature production by legendary producer Just Blaze; you may have heard the EP’s title track “Awesome” recently in the commercial for Verizon‘s HTC Rezound with Beats Audio as well as during a game of b-ball via NBA 2K12.

The Awesome EP will be available for digital purchase on June 26th; preorder it here! Head here to cop Popular Culture right now to hold you over until the 26th.
