Dilz - Single/Video Review: I've Been 2

05 Dec 2022 // A review by Ben Ruegg

Dilz' new track I've Been 2 hits hard. With a huge bass sound that doesn't overwhelm as much as it just makes you aware of its power, paired with the chimes as a hook and a powerful trap beat, I would say that this Dilz track is a statement about where he has come from and where he is now.

Throughout the track Dilz describes all the ups and downs and how it has never deterred him. He is not boasting about his sold out show in Brisbane, Dilz is stating straight facts from someone who works his butt off to get to where he is now. He has his studio in his whare and he is finally making money from his music. The lyrics here are his ammo. The beat and power of the sound is the loaded gun.

Watch out not only Aotearoa. Watch out world. This is a huge sound and Dilz delivery demands your attention.

Ollie McLean - EP Review: Bluesrappin'
29 Sep 2024 // by Ben Ruegg
Ollie McLean's debut EP Bluesrappin' is quite the experience. Recorded and produced by his friend, Ollie who is only 21 brings a sound that reminds me of a cross between old school Beck and Beastie Boys.
