Like many great lyricist, Toronto’s MC D-sisive turns tragedy into a work of art. On his first full length album, titled Let The Children Die, D-sisive chooses to write about struggles he was confronted with while growing up without either of his biological parents. Unfortunate for the MC, he lost his parents at an early age. Needless to say, such subject matter doesn’t translate for for the auto tune rap fanatics, but it is perfect fodder for those who like hip-hop in its purest form. D-sisive recognizes that his music is not going to appeal to the masses and on the intro of the album he makes reference to that by spitting these words “He’s so-so and his voice annoys me high-pitch pierce in my headphones foam string section, kill the whining air violins played right behind him
Drag your sneakers destroy the tread His songs will never form a trend. Keep crying”

Throughout, D-sisive sticks to the original blueprint of hip-hop because he would rather put something out that he believes in than giving up on his artistic integrity to make a dollar. The production also follows this theme. There is a classic hip-hop feel to the beats: it reminds you of being in a cipher and listening to that thumping boom pap sound. Track four, “Nobody With A Notepad,” really reveals this essence with superb lyricism with a under tone of classic boom pap sounds. Like any great artist, D-sisive is not afraid to step out of the box every once and a while, he shows his willingness to do so on a few tracks most notably track 16 “Die In Amsterdam”. This track is unique because D-sisive displays his vocal skills by singing the hook over an acoustic guitar. Overall, this 19 track work of art is for listeners who enjoy clever word play, and lyrics that create a vivid story, over a classic hip-hop sound.
