Baltimore-based emcee Raf Almighty & Canadian producer BigBob drop their latest track HARDER THAN, featuring cuts from LDontheCut, taken off their recent album 537 DOLPHIN STREET, via Elite Sound International
Raf Almighty is interested in getting you the listener, to know his beloved city, Baltimore, and all of the nuances of being a son of the ‘Charm City’. He is keen on his in-depth descriptions of his moments, lyrically cadenced and conventional with punchlines and similes stitched together in a controlled fashion.
The sonic textures of the soundscape created by BigBob show alchemy between artists that mutate with each track, stylistically evolving as time goes on.
‘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.
