One of the swiftest ways to tell if a song will be absolute heat from the beginning is if it incorporates any vocals from the godfather Biggie Smalls. Couple Biggie’s ‘Big Poppa,’ lyrics with a sexy melody of keys that sound like rain hitting puddles and you have the intro to New Zealand artist Dappa’s newest track ‘The Notorious X’, a trap audiophile’s wet dream. Showcasing exceptional layering and wonderfully clean sound design, this is a song that will surely leave your ears fully satiated.
Each drop turns into a veritable dopamine shotgun, with a wonderfully hollow wub-centric base coupled with perfectly portioned vocal samples and an audible-orgasm inducing soda-can opening sample. All of these elements when melded together keep you on your toes wondering what’s coming next, making each individual aspect pop just that much more. If Dappa has more works like this lying in wait, he could become quite notorious himself.
