David Dallas - Caught in a Daze
Artist: David Dallas
Featuring: Freddie Gibbs
Producer: Fire & Ice
Album: The Rose Tint
Label: Dawn Raid Ent/Dirty Management/Duck Down Music, Inc.
You can call David Dallas a daydreamer, a space cadet or even an ADD sufferer, but don’t expect him to take it as an insult. If the New Zealand-bred hopeful looks like he’s Caught in a Daze, he’s simply deep in thought on how best to achieve his goal of rap supremacy – that, or he’s been chiefing up with Freddie Gibbs. On his latest single, Dallas takes a moment to kick back and do the latter, while lyrically pondering the former. Producers Fire & Ice set the proper mood for blunted introspection, chopping mellow brass samples into a lightly jazzy backdrop for the headliner’s musings on his grind to succeed stateside. On the middle, our favorite Gary, Indiana representative grabs the mic for a guest 16 packed with Swisher blunts and gritty hood talk, in the process reminding us why his flow is considered one of the finest in the today’s game. Has Dallas succeeded in elevating your mood with this laid-back jam? Then you won’t want to miss the rest of the feel-good material he’s set to display on his stateside debut full-length, The Rose Tint, coming soon via Duck Down Records.

There's something very prominent about David Dallas. The man has flavor in both his voice and beat selection. Compared to other artists, I think that David has a style of originality that is truly his own. His last album was spectacular. This one is looking to be even better with tracks like this.

Yet another stand out track from D Dot Dallas. This track is smooth, with a nice hook and beat from the boys Fire & Ice. Freddie Gibbs' feature was nice too, never heard him before now.

More dopeness. Dallas always does his thing on the track. Something Awesome was my only purchase of 2009 and it was legit. Couple him with F&I's production, and you're set. Good shit bro.

Absolutely love this track. David Dallas has a style that is truly his own. It's refreshing to find such a talented artist. Style, voice, flow and beat selection is key and he's playing all the right cards. His previous album, "Something Awesome," was amazing and I have no doubts that "The Rose Tint" album will finally give him the shine that he deserves.
LOVE D.DOT! |
