Dante - Roaming Empire

Angry guys with synthesizers and drum sets shouldn’t all be allowed to put out the same music!

A failed attempt at a craft groups along the lines of A tribe Called Quest and Roots have already mastered. Dante just didn’t hit home for me with this one. I’ve heard the beats and melodies before. I’ve seen the lyrics of a troubled life. Give me new meaning to a genre so vaguely explored. Indie, hip hop…there’s so much you can do within both of those cultures and it fears me that they’re so uncharted. Open doors are left swinging on the hinges yet we choose to take the route our fathers have already ventured upon. Where’s this innovation we’re suppose to have in this day and age? It’s left crumbled with being sold the same things we’ve heard before.
