Establishing the mood with a cerebral soundscape and a narrated overlay reciting, “Demon, an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person as a tormentor…”, Diamond Blacc opens DEMONS with intrigue and a fierce and intricate flow.
The rising artist from Philadelphia opens with situational prose as he raps, “Late at night while I sit in my room, got a lot on my mind, let me spirit shine through…”. The opus evolves into a powerful hybrid-rap trip, and we are in awe.
Described by Diamond Blacc as “an out of body experience, resurrecting the hearts, minds and souls of all who have had the pleasure to experience this musical masterpiece.” The visionary wants us to brace ourselves and take a “spiritual journey” with him, and that is exactly what DEMONS is – a journey into the astral realm and beyond.
It is rare to find an artist with such exquisite delivery, and there is no doubt that the conscious art that Diamond Blacc is creating deserves a platform. His lyricism is unique and progressive and we cannot get enough of his timbre and dynamic prowess.
We learn that DEMONS is designed to tackle “not only the myriad of demons in the world but the ones that affect each of us individually.” The artist’s intention is to “uplift listeners in a world at war with demons of all entities.” If you listen closely you might even notice a lyrical easter egg reference to Twista and Britney Spears!
We deeply appreciate the authenticity of the piece, the sound design and the high concept nature of Diamond Blacc‘s universe, and have added DEMONS to our New Music Spotlight playlist whilst we continue to stream the talented rapper’s wider discography including OUT and DEALER.
