DdotElles, as most everyone knows, is a man cut from my own cloth. Rarely do you meet a cat who comes from not only a similar set of musical influences, but a similar set of film and literary influences as well, and isn’t afraid to show it in the lyrics. Tiny Rick (Kid A) drops so many non-sequitur references among its two verses that the majority are more than likely to fly over most folks heads. What they add, however, is an immediate deeper connection for those familiar, and future enjoyment to be released on future listens for those not yet up to speed on the context. Songs like this are what make hip hop, as well as Austin‘s highly skilled set of MCs, a beautiful thing.
