Dub Sonata :: Revolution

Illest-Rated Entertainment

(Click on stars to rate artist)

Balancing the gangsters from the backpackers can be difficult, but Dub Sonata’s debut album On the Arm manages to erase the line between mainstream and underground hip-hop. Dub Sonata’s joints sound like he’s been schooled by both DJ Premier and Three 6—soul samples on one track, stomping drums and alarms on the next. Sonata sits in the producers role, but unlike the recent Timberland solo super-producer disaster, he relies on his strengths—and the vocal cadences of the slew of guest rappers, including Double A.B., J-Hood and Bizzy Bone—to create a beautiful pastiche of New York hip-hop both old and new.

Dub Sonata: "On The Arm" Revolution..
starts out with a chorus of vocals that follows Reggae styles with great beats, Madd crew guest rappers, Double AB,J Hood, and Bizzy Bone to hold it together. As in any Reggae the Hip hop rhymes rings out political messages about Revolution, war and other aspect of life.
