Two/three
Ghostly Internationa
BEATS
The long- awaited return of Detroit's underground beatsmith DABYRE features MCs DOOM (DANGER DOOM, MADVILLAN) VAST AIRE (CANNIBAL OX), WILDCHILD (STONES THROW) BEANS (WARP) and the late, great JAY DEE / JAY DILLA.
Taking the next logical step in his evolutionary hip-hop album cycle, Dabyre has rounded up a formidable crew of MCs to create 'Two / Three'. A moody propulsive take on the genre, the BladeRunner-esque beats help cage rhymes ranging from the world events to the street, with little chance to catch your breath. All aided by the production of TV ON THE RADIO's DAVID SITEK.
The result is a dizzying narcotic rush stronger than a back alley glue hit. Five years after his meticulously sculpted debut 'One / Three', TADD MULLINIX is back to make an indelible mark with his new hip hop sound.
Gritty singles "Air" & "Game Over" have so far foretold the progression of the Dabyre sound & in the full-length context these tracks fit together as pieces of an unstoppable manifesto.
Going back to basics, instrumentals like "Machines (pts I & II)", "Bloop" and the WAAJEED (PLATINUM PIED PIPERS) collab "Jorgy" further showcase Dabyre's uncommonly detail-driven style, balancing crackling trap kit beats against gossamer melodies and basslines that reference jazz and electro in equal measure.
Again emerging at the forefront of hip hop's new wave, Dabyre offer up a Molotov cocktail as raw and uncompromising, giving a proverbial cattle prod to the underground backside.
