Info:
"Taking the next logical step in his evolutionary hip-hop album
cycle, Dabrye has rounded up a formidable crew of MCs to create
Two/Three. A moody, propulsive take on the genre, the Blade
Runner-esque beats help cage rhymes ranging from world events
to the street, with little chance to catch your breath. 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" and "Game Over" have thus far foretold the
progression of the Dabrye sound, and in the full-length context
these tracks fit together as pieces of an unstoppable manifesto.
Other appearances by Vast Aire, Wildchild, Beans, and Ann Arbor's
Kadence work in tandem with Mullinix' signature handmade productions
to create a hardheaded onslaught of the underground new school.
Going back to basics, instrumentals like "Machines (pts. I & II),"
"Bloop," and the Waajeed (Platinum Pied Pipers) collab "Jorgy"
further showcase Dabrye's uncommonly detail-driven style, balancing
crackling trap kit beats against gossamer melodies and bass lines
that reference jazz and electro in equal measure. Again emerging at
the forefront of hip-hop's new wave, Dabrye has made the wait
worthwhile, offering up a Molotov cocktail as raw and uncompromising
as its cover art (by WK Interact), and a proverbial cattle prod to
the underground backside."
