Straight out of the jungle with some real rap and no mumble is Houston Texas iconic rapper and producer Tony Dapro who claims to be the new ‘Lil Uzi Vert’! One thing is for sure, he is a lyrical assassin with some vocal fluidity and technicality who will whisk you to a very high musical planet like some eagles with strong fangs. He came through in style and gave a grand performance with his 4-piece EP “F da government” which is as insightful – talking about socially sensitive issues, as it is explicit and entertaining. Tony Dapro is not one to mince words and this is what makes listeners relate heavily with his no-holds-barred lyrical style and approach as he says things as they are. There is no babysitting in his music style, he serves them bars hot and when he hits the stage, he certainly makes his mark leaving the audience below him in contemplative wonder!
‘F’d yo moms” is the first track in this EP and it is a lyrical gem and a melodic feast for the ears with the way the guitar riffs at the intro welcome you to a musical expedition where reality, spit in technicality and rhythmicity is the order of the day. His wavy and commanding vocals work well with the instrumentations comprised of the fist-bumping beat synths, the heavily phased basslines and the punchy drums with the glamour of the guitar riffs at the center creating a joyous harmonic moment. All through, Tony Dapro cuts through in rap and rap-sing style like some El Chapo in the streets!
“F da government” the EP title track has that hauntingly calming and evocative guitar riff at the intro too and his cut-throat lyricism is on display once more as he spits some heavy and insightful bars like some “fact machine!” amidst the exploding synths, the booming bass tones, and the stunning drums. The integration between the guitars and the synths is a moment to behold giving the track that delicious rhythmic edge.
“F da feds” does not hold back right from the intro and goes heavy – perhaps because we are dealing with cops here! There is an element of the real gangsta southern type of beat and style that has been incorporated, heightening the message as he shoots straight in his lyrics like some proficient sniper enjoying the company of the drums, the piano, the bass, and the drums. Intricacy, technicality, and epicism are some of the words you can use to define his lyrical delivery in this explicit track. The last track “IRS SCAM” is a lyrical gem with his terrific evocative display that is engulfed in artistic fluidity to pass through his intended message without missing!
Houston, Texas has a real gem on their hands and this EP is part of the confirmation of the endless ability and possibilities Tony Dapro possesses at his arsenal. He is the artist to watch out in the next decade as he did not come to play. You can get this EP by following the attached link and groove with intensity to its epic!
