One of Brooklyn's many sons, Dyme-A-Duzin, isn't wasting anytime being part of hip-hop's climate for opposition towards this new threat politically.
Dyme-A-Duzin's newest five-track EP, Ghetto Olympics, reaches a necessary scale of conscious bangers the people need right now. Ghetto Olympics' production is predominately in Mark Henry's dominion. MK, Vontae Thomas and Nisi offer him additional production from the third eye searching cut 20/20 Vision to Dyme's victory lap Seasons and braggadocios dreamer track Supposed To. These three tracks are the bangers with bite-sized lyrical food for thought. Overall the production and the lyrics are all bops of escapism from the social, personal and political fights -- a necessary weapon to have, to say the least.
Dyme-A-Duzin's penultimate and ultimate songs Raw (feat. Oswin Benjamin) and Legends (my favorites) are the main course, with seconds leaving you stuffed. Raw (prod. by The Olympicks) builds a sound of hopelessness. Wearily sinful angelic vocals descend, scored to a crying screech of a violin. Dyme-A-Duzin spits about the problems riddled in his community. His opening line "My city gentrified and my chicken fried" exposes a harsh reality as he revels in his blackness through the flip of a stereotype. Dyme spits with a worried cadence. Oswin Benjamin flows like a news broadcaster. Legends (prod. by Montage) is the gleam of hope. His raps remind me of Fab's in delivery. Montage's anointed trumpets are triumphant. The sandy drums sack the track, giving the sound this workers grit. Legends snaps and leaves you with hope.
There's only gold and silver moments in this EP. Y'all need to hear it pronto, things will feel better after you do.
