INTRODUCTION: Anyone that knows anything about me, knows I hate rap music. It’s mostly a bunch of ass clowns running around glorifying a thug lifestyle and cop killing. That isn’t to say it doesn’t have rappers that are good though, it’s just the majority of it isn’t and had never been to my liking. I like polka as an overall genre more than rap. Getting me to listen to it is a rare event. Yet, this young man named Dax is killing it in the rap game and I have to say it’s quite entertaining.

STYLE: it’s an algamation of a million different references to past rap music and made modern.

FLOW: This guy flows like he was born rapping. Eminem has flown well, but even he has had rhymes that make you pause and wonder what he was trying to accomplish with his verbal prose.

MESSAGES: His music is filled with a lot of positive vibes. A drastic departure from music of the past.

OVERALL: Much like country music, which I lothe, rap can have its moments. When it comes to Dax, everything this man does IS that moment. Every non redeemable quality of rap music is dismissed in favor of high quality music. While I haven’t listened to his entire catalog, everything I’ve seen, including his “covers” of old rap songs with new lyrics, are 10x better than the originals. He’s truly a modern Tu pac and one, even the most anti rap music guy like myself, needs to give him a listen.
