Luu Breeze at Club XS

Kyle Luu Breeze Willis

This dynamic rap group consists of three guys, including rapper, lyricist and song-writer, Kyle “Luu Breeze” Willis. Willis grew up in Scarborough’s Orton Park housing project, and with the support of an inspirational single mother, it became his goal to make something of himself, which is exactly what he is doing. He takes pride in his background, and his strong cultural ties to both Jamaica and Nova Scotia are instrumental in his creation of original music. “Luu Breeze” hit the stage with an energetic, entertaining and charmingly cocky form of homegrown hip-hop. They make sure the audience is paying attention by startling those who dare to daydream during the show; our photographer was up close to take pictures, and we were all told to “get as close as the old white guy”. Medium and higher voices are brought together well with a deep bass voice, as three of the group members either rap together or take turns up front. The energy and play doesn’t end as the show goes on- the guys jumping around, and playing with each other, the DJ, and the crowd, which continues growing in enthusiasm and size. In lieu of full costume changes and array of funky hats replace the ones they wore on the last number. The passion is without question, as is the talent, versatility, and drive. With a story to tell about the history of Nova Scotia, and the lives of Willis’ people, Kyle “Luu Breeze” has a lot to say, and chances are, people are going to listen.
