From the UK grime scene to djs and rappers in North America, the “all black everything” wave has never been stronger. Furthering the momentum comes the all black anthem from Donae’o, JME and Dizzee Rascal – fittingly titled ‘Black’. Kicking the track off comes an enticing pre-hook that shows Donae’o’s vocal range. As the bass deepens the infectious and simplistic hook comes in. The combination of repetitive lyrics over the bouncy beat give this an anthematic feel. Donae’o comes through with a strong verse that is followed by bars from JME. Closing this out comes a show-stealing verse from Dizzee Rascal. His unique style and delivery weave through the production exceptionally as the lyrics take the concept to another level. Don’t be surprised if this swells from a low key anthem into a smash.
