David Dallas - Slow Down

David Dallas is now known as the most gifted wordsmith New Zealand hip hop has birthed. And the most valued lyricist on Dirty Records' roster is armed with a soon-to-drop solo debut simply titled Something Awesome, an album again set to have other rappers reassess their own rap blueprints.

Early in the piece, label mate P-Money was quick to spot the prodigious talents of the new kid comin' up, recognition that led to Dave's searing verse on "Not Many - The Remix". The song heralded the arrival of an untapped rap talent that New Zealand Hip Hop was quick to make room for.

His freshly minted solo long player is released on Monday.

Thanks to David you can download for free Slow Down. It'll only be up for the next week so get in there fast.
