the durty version

@iamblink

You know me. I am always on a quest to find something good to listen to where the instrumental isn’t out-rhyming the lyricist.

Searching around the blog space this AM, I came across this artist: Blink. He’s from Lagos, Nigeria. Before listening and after reading about him, my first impression was sour, based off of my past experiences exploring the world for other dope lyricists. I think the science behind liking an artist, is being able to relate to what they are saying, and how the beat makes you feel as your listening to it.

I can tell you all this much. Blink let me with that hunger for more. While music videos usually don’t sell a track for me since I’m bumping it while screechin’ tires and not while on the couch; I’ll tell you this much though. Finding Blink led me to another artist I’m going to explore. Marcus Smith. Keep your eyes peeled for his area on thedurtyversion.com.

I’ll shut up. You listen and get your fill. After the video, sample the album. Hit him on twitter.
