MC Dex Amora and the always reliable Goldenbeets on production with their first drop of the (still) new year. I listened to this track in my Honda, driving through my sunny new home of Los Angeles, and indeed I saw that it was good. See Dex and ‘Beets “Touchdown” tonight at Seattle’s Lo-Fi.
On the mic device Dex Amora is all fluid lyricism, coasting with uncommon ease from thought to thought; old (school) soul in a new body. “What Do Ai Say” was produced by Goldenbeets and features vocals by Scarlet Parke. It’s the first leak from Dex and Golden’s upcoming Ai Level EP.
Rapper Dex Amora feels all the feelings in his new single with producer Goldenbeets.

Headphone masterpiece MC young Dex Amora lets loose another vintage groove before his Capitol Hill Block Party debut this Saturday at Barboza. If you missed his Aura EP from late last year, don’t.
Rising rapper Dex Amora makes this joint — something so heavy — sound so light. Producer Melo-Zed provides the elegant stutter. If you missed Dex’s 2014 Aura… Don’t.
Dex Amora drops a (ahem) jewel in his new track with producer E. Grady. “amethyst.snatchers” (lowercase and misplaced period, theirs) is a downtempo, jazzy rumination. It’s worth your time, as is the MC’s Aura EP.
Dex Amora — Minnesota transplant and Golden Era nostalgist — dropped his eight-piece EP, Aura, earlier this month. The promising rapper finds community with similarly-minded producers Goldenbeets and SoulChef. Vintage samples, turntablism and obscure science drops abound on this worthy effort.
