We received a super nice email from an L.A-based MC named Doug. The message was so sincere and honest in fact, that I was worried upon actually listening to his music he would be a horribly shallow rapper talking about bitches and bling, and we’d have to chuck that super nice email in the trash (it’s an almost daily occurrence kids). Well luckily enough for us, and you, his skills were as good as his manners. The production in ‘A Trip’ has so much jazz in it that it had me instantly nodding my head like one of those dog things you have in the back of your car. His content is intelligent, but not pretentious and I like how his flow very much works with the instrumentation of the tracks he spits over. I’m generally excited to hear Doug rap, and we’ll be definitely keeping an eye on this dude in the future. For fans of Aesop Rock, Ecid, 2-Dash Tone.
P.S for those of you that think good manners won’t get you far, being a dick won’t get you anywhere at all. Especially in underground genres. Take note.

Been following this guys material for a long while now. Been bumping his tune since 2009. Check out the track ‘The Critic’. Def an artist to buy in to. If he ever agrees to charge for his music.
