guest star bars from H.K.K. absolutely hit the mark and keep<br />
the track weaving dynamically as it transitions and flows…<br />
there’s lots to listen to on “Down Low” from the verse to the<br />
chorus and it delivers real entertainment for the ears.<br />
All 4 Walls:<br />
Lyrically, ”All 4 Walls” was completely impressive. Not only<br />
does Dino have you cracking a serious smile throughout<br />
half of the descriptions he rhymes about in the verse but<br />
the filters & effects added to the hook in the chorus set the<br />
whole track right off. The words themselves are fantastic<br />
yes – but a lot about what makes “All 4 Walls” as memorable<br />
as it is, is the melody in the lyrics as Dino bends<br />
and shifts them; whether its manually in the high-speed of<br />
the verse or chromatically through the pitch-shifting in the<br />
chorus, Dino’s bending these words to his will with a masterful<br />
grip on the mic. The result is something that sounds<br />
highly unique to the ear AND has seriously strong pull<br />
through the hook of the way the lyrics flow in every part of<br />
this song. Once again keeping it minimal in the music has<br />
beefed up Dino’s performance and production…definitely<br />
an emcee that’s ready to rise to the occasion – I dig that.<br />
In Da Trap featuring Minus:<br />
You WILL notice the verse on the final track “In Da Trap”<br />
featuring Minus. The hook comes out sounding memorable<br />
once again and I dig how it’s edited & performed – but<br />
listen to the extra aggression in the attitude that Dino brings<br />
to his bars on this one…loved the sound of his verse and the<br />
added energy he brought to it. Speaking of energy – check<br />
out the blazing verse that Minus puts into this one…like…<br />
DAMN! This emcee has the track ripping along at its finest<br />
as he flows through the second minute like Usain Bolt flows<br />
from 0-60 in less than ten seconds…love the pace and love<br />
the tone – I thought this was another example of a collaboration<br />
that really worked well on this record, but let’s also<br />
face facts – they truly ALL showed up when it comes to the<br />
performances of the featured guests on this EP.<br />
Final Critique:<br />
Only criticism I have is extremely minor and from what I<br />
heard on the Pure EP – Dino might have realized this also<br />
about halfway through the record. As much as it instantly<br />
makes me sound old to say it – shouting out the brand at<br />
the beginning of the song isn’t ever an engaging thing for<br />
the people as listeners…it’s just not. It’s highly effective<br />
as an advertisement…but then of course you have to ask<br />
yourself if that’s really what you want the first thing people<br />
to hear in your music like they’re waiting for the ad on a<br />
YouTube video, know what I mean? Thankfully it doesn’t<br />
interfere all that much with this record and at one point or<br />
another, Dino drops it from occurring altogether…which<br />
again, I think was the smart play. Boss Beats deserves<br />
their shout-outs for a fantastic job & I get that…but that’s<br />
what liner-notes and album credits are for…all I’m saying<br />
is make way for the man to do his thang on the mic…we<br />
don’t need to eat them bars up with this kinda stuff when<br />
there’s so much to offer around every corner on Dino’s<br />
tracks throughout the Pure EP. All this being said…it’s a<br />
minor observance at best…I don’t want to take away from<br />
the fact that this emcee has truly nailed it here with an<br />
entirely vibrant & lively set of seven cuts, because he truly<br />
has – the Pure EP is highly dynamic, versatile and has really<br />
impressive movement & flow.<br />
