DAVEAMAZIN gets very intentional w/ release “If You Can Make It Here”
The Chicago music scene has been evolving one step at a time since 1991 but even more importantly since 2011, the growing industry has always had it’s emcees that we just knew had that spark almost without effort. One of those that have always been on that radar for us is the awesome DAVEAMAZIN. A favorite of legendary website TheLyricalLab DAVE was among powerful creatives like Arjaye Jeter & the ChillVille collective and legends like Mobo The Great who rapped on stage w/ Jay-Z twice. While coming from this wave of artists DAVEAMAZIN always came off as the emcee that could really spit and tear down a record if he locked in. That time is now..
DAVEAMAZIN drops this new single with a title that carries both a challenge and a promise. “If You Can Make It Here”. There’s no wasted space, the song feels lean, & urgent. It’s clearly coming from someone who’s saying something they believe in, and doesn’t need a lot of frills to make it hit..
The vibes throughout are very grounded. DAVEAMAZIN sounds like someone who’s seen a little, tried a bit, and maybe scrapped for position. There’s grit in the delivery, a desire to prove something, and that gives the track a sincerity that many tracks lack..
“If You Can Make It Here” doesn’t just ask a powerful question, it begins to provide an answer. For listeners who appreciate raw energy, clarity of message, and concise tracks that do more with less, this is a solid addition to the roster. It suggests that DAVEAMAZIN is someone to watch, someone building, growing, and willing to be vulnerable in the competitive landscape of hip hop..
