Dynas - Totally Tanya
Producer: illmind
Album: The Apartment LP
Label: BBE Music
True love is a great start, but sometimes it just isn’t enough to make the damn thing work. Dynas, the Miami rapper introduced to the Booth via Lex One‘s Heat, is well aware that passion and compatibility don’t always go hand in hand, and on new album leak Totally Tanya, he offers a case in point. Flowing over a mellow, soul-drenched beat by illmind (anyone know where that sample comes from?), the emcee tells the tale of Tanya, a promiscuous female with a gold-digging streak. When she meets DeWayne, a fella who wants more than just to love and leave her, she falls for him and they soon have a child. In the end, though, DeWayne’s desire for a stable, committed relationship just doesn’t mix with Tanya’s flighty tendencies, and that friction inevitably leads to heartbreak. It’s a well-told story with a message that bears repeating, and Dynas’ lightly-accented delivery lends the extra dash of pop appeal. For more of this up-and-comer’s unique brand of urban storytelling, pick up a copy of The Apartment when it hits stores Sept. 29th.

I stay away from chicks named Tanya (long story), but my ears are drawn to story-telling emcees like Dynas. Nice work.

The production and hook were a little boring, but I liked Dynas a lot. I really liked his flow, voice, and storytelling abilities.

@MC Mang - Hmmmmm ... huh, What???
And whats with all these 3-star rating, fellas! This is well worthy of my four-stars. I always appreciate a good storytelling rap. This isn't the most complex relationship tale ever, but simplicity can be a virtue ... And Dynas' gravelly delivery/accent combined with his constantly switched-uo flows mos def made this one an interesting listen front to back ... BANGER!!! |
