Drawing us in with a cerebral riser, akin to a siren, and a dimensional hip-hop soundscape with ad-lib vocalizations, DA-MOVEMENT opens the Remix of All Black Everything with an assertive nature and epic vocals that remind us of a fusion of early Dru Hill and Kanye West.
There is an almost orchestral energy that manifests, and overall the track feels triumphant. It hits hard and moves fast. The Remix of All Black Everything laced with aesthetic and empowering notions. We learn that the track was indeed engineered for the streets and the club. It feels vibrant and alive, and let’s be real, who doesn’t love an all black fit, car and vibe?
The remix unites legends Ak of Do or Die and Never of Crucial Conflict with rising star J. Harris. The combination feels cohesive and divergent. A hybrid of smooth flow, gritty punch, and fresh energy. It comes to life as a true reuniom – a Chicago summit of talent.
The production is both crisp and dynamic, perfectly mixed, showcasing instrumental mastery and timeless flow reminiscent of hip-hop heroes of the past. Laced with earworm hooks that stick in our mind without feeling forced. We appreciate the high octane energy, perfect for driving, gym and the club.
Lyrically, it bridges eras. The remix honours the Golden Age of Chicago hip-hop whilst feeling entirely rooted in the present. Folded Waffle notes it as a “masterclass in cultural preservation.” The numbers also back it up. The track is in the top 10% worldwide on Digital DJ Pool, peaking at #39, and currently spinning in clubs from Chicago to New York.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added the Remix of All Black Everything to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of DA-MOVEMENT, including LITES DOWN, and ALL I NEED IS YOU.
