New to our radar, DBL A's latest release, 'SCOPE', is a lovely introduction * handshake emoji * to the Yorkshire-born rapper.
Now Manchester-based, DBL-A’s new single takes elements from other rap subgenres into the melting pot that many want to call ‘chill rap.’ Whether you see that as a genre, a buzzword or just the name of a big Spotify playlist, DBL-A’s music transcends it.
With some flows and lyrics reminiscent of 140 grime bangers alongside a beat more akin to alternative rap, the concept of the track, according to the artist, is about “finding peace and zen.”
There’s also supposed to be more to come from him this year, so keep an eye and ear out.
