Party histrionics and elevated sh*t-talk may be their forte, but Dyme Def is (and has been) way more complex than that. Introspective cuts like “One Way Road” prove it. Click below to download the track, and then go check out the album it appears on: Producer Jack the Ripper’s compilation LP, Don’t Look Back.

JFK is an emcee who seems like he’s perpetually on the verge of becoming unhinged. It’s a self-inflicted condition caused by the combination of his frantic, usually rapid-paced flow and his penchant for spitting about all the bad sh-t that happens in life (or death, as is often the case when he’s traversing the spiritual world’s subsurface as one half of Grayskul, the rapper’s well-established collaborative endeavor with fellow Oldominion cohort Onry Ozzborn). On JFK’s solo debut, Building Wings on the Way Down, the man also known as Ninjaface settles into a comfortable space (at least for him) composed of personal reflection, adept societal observations, and relatable relationship anecdotes. Based on JFK’s subject matter, and despite the album’s title, the rapper seems grounded here–in a good way.
The second musical entry from the YUK team. Even Dyme Def’s side projects make most rappers seem wack by comparison.

I love the lush production on this joint from Sol’s latest FREE EP, Dear Friends, Vol II. Cop it at the homie’s website here. Like Thig Nat, I don’t smoke, but I understand why people do…
Dyme Def’s Sex Tape EP is now set to drop on 6.1.10. Here’s the latest leak, “Do it Better”, produced by Tha Bizness. Good look on the T.I.T.S. Clothing hustle, fellas. Unfortunately many of the graphics are unsuitable for my office…
