If you’ve been rocking a little existential dread lately, well, you’re not alone—this newly-released record finds Florida emcee and Booth newcomer D.P. staring into The Mirror at the lines on his face, struck by the realization that he and everyone he knows will inevitably age and die. It’s bleak, but those can handle the dark subject matter will undoubtedly appreciate the brutally real, bluntly poetic lyricism the up-and-comer brings to a topic that most (if not all) of us us have contemplated at one point or another. On the production tip, D.P. wisely provides a spoonful of sugar to temper the downbeat lyrical content; centered around uptempo percussion and catchy spaghetti-Western guitar riffs, the driving instrumental keeps things “movin’ and movin’ and movin’” along. If you’re wondering what else D.P. has on his mind, download a copy of fortyeighthours, a newly-released, 11-track album created in one nonstop, two-day recording session.

The real lyrics pushed this track to rotation for me. His delivery is pretty cool. I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the production. It's aight but sounds a lil generic to me. The hook could use some work to, but the story is the point of the track so in rotation it goes.

D.P. has an amazing flow on this and he tells the story well. Deep subject matter but sometimes you need to ponder with these type of songs. Hook is iight nice production definitely a banger from the lyrics alone

Blunt subject matter, but high-tempo production. Somehow, he finds a way to mesh these together, so for that alone I'm adding an extra star.
He's the type of MC (I didn't say rapper, I said MC) who can become a Booth favorite later this year...I'm looking forward to seeing how he can handle our exclusive freestyle series! |

The lyrics and "not ur usual subject/topic" made this track hot but what got me really into it was the successful mergence of the high-tempo production & subject matter ...

Oh my God I love that production! That beat that's at the begining and goes on throughout the song is fire!!! And D.P. has a very nice flow!! First impression: this man is going to go places, if he can keep up doin sh*t like this. I have to call this Classic, because no one has ever rapped about death like this. Not that I've heard. This makes me reflect on my life so far, however short. It's kinda scary. This is the song you'd hear in your worst nightmares and deepest fears. Very nice job, D.P. Look forward to hearing from you again.

The repetitiveness of the production is a bit off-putting but overall his flow and lyrical content help a bit. 3.5.
