THE REVIEW
The third album by Die Dave, The Art of Dying, created in collaboration with Rvndea, is a descent into the depths of death, defeat, and rebirth through failure. A concept that doesn’t limit itself to the rhetoric of darkness, but explores the end as a new beginning, between Zen philosophy and urban disenchantment. After Zero BPM and Do or Die, Die Dave further refines his style, maintaining the bitter irony and corrosive sarcasm that characterize him.
"Still rapping? Stay quiet. It's like hearing 'tutututu' in Murubutu's tracks."
Musically, the album pays homage to the rawest boom bap, with samples ranging from soul to noir cinematic suggestions. The productions are essential, leaving room for direct and sharp lyricism. The Art of Dying is not an album that seeks to please but a manifesto of artistic integrity, where each bar weighs like a testament written with (bitter) blood.
"As kids amidst the chaos, too many 'problemi, problemi': Carlo Vanzini."
In an increasingly standardized rap landscape, The Art of Dying stands out for coherence and personality, remaining faithful to an uncompromising artistic vision. It is not an album for everyone, but for those seeking a dense and layered listening experience, capable of leaving a deep mark.
"I won't waste more words, okay, end of story. Giving the mic to Dave is like giving the axe to the executioner."
