What a fucking run. That feels like the only appropriate way to start this review off. From last year to now, this man hasn’t fallen off even once; he’s only gotten stronger, and this new one feels like a manifestation of all his hard work over the last few years! If you ain’t hyped over this new project, then you ain’t for the culture because he’s one of the best going!
This is the brand-new album by powerhouse MC & Producer DOZA THE DRUM DEALER! With these solid 11 tracks, he brings with him:
– Liym Capital
– Mar
– 17th Cipher
– Spit Gemz
– 12XTONIO
– AG Da Coroner
– Ark Medina
– Kaeson Skrilla
– Dax Empire
And with this band of bandits, we see Doza pull out his ultimate bag of tricks for his first real full-length drop of the year, and it’s every bit as impressive as I thought it was going to be!
First of all, what the fuck is this production?! How does he keep getting more impressive with each new song? That’s insane.
It feels like a fever dream listening to his music! The way he can bring music to life, the way he inserts soul, adrenaline, and heart into his instrumentals is ridiculous.
We are talking music that will make you feel every emotion on the spectrum. Serious tunes to lock in to, dancehall music to groove to! Fucking soulful tunes to make you feel some kind of way! He’s got a mood and more specifically a beat for everyone! I’ve never felt this kind of way listening to a hip-hop album before!
One minute I’m mean-mugging my room, the next I’m jumping up sweating doing a dance groove, the next I’m pondering on my feelings in a sombre mood.
He’s the fucking Willy Wonka of hip-hop beats, a man who can turn the impossible possible, and I LOVE HIM FOR IT!
No two DOZA projects are the same, and each drop is refreshing; it’s always different and in its own lane. Every Doza album is a must-listen because of the variety and originality he brings to each song, EP, and album. A true one-of-a-kind artist that is bringing true artistry BACK to the culture and making it great again!
It’s rare to find someone whose skills as a MC and producer are equally the same. That is the gift of DOZA; it doesn’t matter if he’s in charge of just the MC work or if he’s in charge of the beats or BOTH; he’s killing it, and on this occasion, he’s flexing on everyone with a masterclass in BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!
Across this tape, we see his personality come out in spades as he floods each track with its own layers of rhythm, smooth delivery, witty wordplay, and certain verbal mannerisms that I can’t help but point out.
Like on the intro song, he shows us his more melodic side as he sings most notes, or on the song -Jake Paul, towards the end of the song, he uses his words scratched up and cut to create the sound of a drum beat! Or even the song -LA BANDERA, he has this hypnotic chorus that is ever so groovy!
Each song has its own quirky moments that help elevate the song that extra level! One of the advantages of being both an MC and producer is the fact that you are completely comfortable in your element as they are your beats, and that’s extra why I feel he’s so fucking fluent on this tape! He’s literally in his element, and he’s using that advantage to spit absolute bangers left, right, and centre!!
He’s not alone on this album; with that crew I mentioned above, he helps create some fantastic chemistry with those MC’s who bring their unique styles, performances, and cadences to push the songs further and help keep the energy up! If I had to play devils advocate, I’d say my favourite feature verse was -Spit Gemz on track 4! But each person contributes wonderfully to the overall atmosphere of the album!
I can’t even front. I’m speechless. With each new drop, he continues to impress me further and further, and this is the apex. How can someone be so fucking talented and not take an L? I ask all of you to click this link and buy/support this man! He deserves your support!
