Black personified and a true female MC in the rap game; DJ D Maye is her professional stage name and she hails from South Florida in FT Lauderdale. The thing about her is that she is just more than a rapper, she is an entertainer and when she gets up on that stage, she always makes sure the crowd doesn’t forget her name! Lyrically inventing and always aiming to go higher and harder through each of her music, she makes each music better than the last and each year better than the previous one- the same way titans and legends roll!
She is a Queen influencing her own throne and through her infectious energy, she allows her listeners to live through her music which mirrors the black culture in sense and authenticity and is deeply relatable to numerous listeners worldwide as they get to let their emotions out through her music. She is on the way to building a bullet-proof legacy that will not be penetrated by any injurious events and she is more than happy to know that she is doing what she set out to do. Growing up she didn’t know for sure that she was gonna pursue music as a career and was more into basketball but eventually the burning passion for music was too hot to ignore and now she is right in the middle of the kitchen cooking and serving some fire hits!
She is back with a new black anthem titled, “I’m Black”- just in time for the Juneteenth that is short of a week away. This is a pride song for the black community and signifies everything about the culture and the people of African-American descent. And for anyone who listens in, the point is to wear their heritage with pride and sing your lungs out to its catchy and addicting chorus that pulls one into an emotional stupor and allows you to live within its compelling melodicism and lyricism!
The tune is allowed to slowly and proficiently build up and rises from within the alluring ashes of then piano euphony, before being met with the aesthesis of the percussive hip-hop defined claps and the marvelous beast is unleashed when the deep-phased bass comes in contact with the atmospheric synths over the heavy beats. All the while the resounding 808’s accompany this tune with the dutiful drums and other quintessential hip-hop beats blending with the terrific invention to design a tune rich in cadence and melody!
Her West-Coast-inspired rap sing is stunningly effective as she gets a listener intrigued with the catchy chorus section that ensures that apart from just listening, a listener joins in from time to time and feels part of this remarkable record; “I’m Dhat, I’m Chilled, I’m calm relaxed,
I’m Black, I’m chilled, I’m calm relaxed” is where the gist of this rap anthem resides!
This is a black legacy in raw and passionate feel and it celebrates who we are as a community there is no better time for this record to have come out than now when we are about to celebrate freedom month. It is who we are and D Maye reminds us of her stylish demeanor and lyrical invention over the deep and affecting beats. The great thing is that this tune sticks to the mind of its listener right from the first listen and qualifies for numerous repeated listening experiences as you ingest the message behind the thoughtful lyrics and marvel at such a heartfelt performance.
