The Dirty Sample‘s unorthodox breakbeats and gothic chords build over thick boom-bap rhythms on the song “Blamp,” creating a rumbling, dissonant backdrop for his partner in crime: the equally unorthodox lyricist Sensational. This unique soundscape lends itself to a more subdued vocal performance, which makes the emcee’s deep tone and haunting delivery all the more resonant. The track is a testimony to the duo’s chemistry, which feels as if it’s been honed over the course of countless hours spent exploring darkly lit cityscapes and post-industrial wastelands. Sensational‘s verses feel tense and claustrophobic, but in a good way as they really capture the feeling of treading a tightrope between the serious and the surreal. This is a song that (thankfully) sounds unlike anything else out there and it’s clear that The Dirty Sample and Sensational share a laser-like focus on bringing something totally new to the hip-hop landscape.
“Blamp” is the second single from The Dirty Sample & Sensational‘s upcoming album The Spot Rocker.
