Entering into a hypnotic and euphonic intro with scattered violin screeches, Raf Almighty presents his confidence and self-assuredness on ‘Crowned Head’.
There is undeniable chemistry between writer and instrumentalist, and it’s felt deep within the emotional prosody of Raf’s speech & BigBob leading the sound design to enchant the listener to the narrative.
The visuals present Raf in raw form, meticulously pouring his heart onto paper and into action. Cuts and scratches from LDontheCut to amplify the mood.
‘537 Dolphin Street’ is a confident and stunning album, the product of innovative creative cooperation between two visionary artists, Hip Hop producer BigBob and esteemed emcee, Raf Almighty of the Baltimore duo Dirt Platoon. As their own creative duo, they are known as BIG ALMIGHTY.
This album memorializes the nostalgic address of Raf Almighty’s childhood. It’s a raw musical trip down memory lane, wholly inspired by the city of Baltimore, the immediate vicinity of his childhood, his brethren, and the dynamic experiences of living in ‘Charm City’.
BigBob continues to instrumentally mature and evolves while still exhibiting his dark, moody cadence. He sonically sways with heavy rhythmic drum patterns bouncing effortlessly and melodically replicating the mood and tone of Raf’s songwriting and vocal flow. It’s 40 minutes of pure unadulterated classic Hip Hop. Each track tunefully shapeshifts to suit the narrators.
Raf’s writing aims to demonstrate his originality by displaying his ripening mic presence. His style is simple yet effective with an unmatched emotional fervour, acute delivery, formulaic flows, and memorable punchlines. He recounts details stoically, vividly bringing real life to his verses.
It’s evident throughout the project that the pair share similar sources for their musical inspirations. Raf pays homage directly to the Hip Hop influences that helped galvanize his experiences as a youth on Dolphin Street.
BigBob collaborates with LD-on-the-Cut for cuts and mixing, solidifying their chemistry for stellar Hip Hop production.
