The Airplane Boys - Dictate
Artist: The Airplane Boys
Producer: KMS
Album: Alignment
Label: Unsigned
Though the lead single off The Airplane Boys’ forthcoming mixtape found the T-Dot duo developing a taste for New Blood, Beck Motley and Bon Voyage don’t share the weaknesses typically attributed to vampires; far from hiding from the sun in velvet-lined-boxes, the crew are up and on their grind at the crack of dawn. On follow-up Dictate, beatsmith KMS layers moody synths over a reverb-drenched percussion rhythm as the crew explain why their competition may as well just hang up the mic. In between boasting about their superhuman work ethic and delineating the scope of their ambitions, they find time to drop a bevy of witty cinematic references, comparing lying rappers to “Matt Damon from Departed” and telling their haters,“Ya’ll just the Children of Men, ‘cause you fail to see existence.” Like what you’re hearing? Then keep it locked for further leaks leading up to the yet-unscheduled release of their next street album, Alignment. In addition, fans will be able to catch the crew performing at SXSW and Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on April 15th and 22nd.

Our friends North of the Border sound borderline angry, eh? Or is it "Oh"? For some who rap angry, the end result is far from ear-pleasing. The Airplane Boys, however, bank on their atmospheric production backing and aggressive bars to reach out and grab your eardrums. Some might not find their flows overly enjoyable, but the end result is impactful one way or another.

Never heard of these guys and this style isn't normally my cup of tea, but it was a good track.

Something is a bit off with the Airplane Boy's flow on this one. I like their style, but the delivery was wrong for me. Cool beat though.
