Dillon & Diamond D – Pardon Our Dust (feat. Planet Asia & Ras Kass) [Single]

Blending the two-turntables-and-a-mic vibes of back in the day with a touch of modern flair, Dillon & Diamond D‘s “Pardon Our Dust” delivers a bouncy bragging-writes piece that keeps listeners hooked. With the addition of outstanding guest verses from Planet Asia and Ras Kass, this cut becomes a lyric showcase, where each emcee brings their A-game and leaves an indelible mark on the track.

Dillon sets things off with a verse that not only plays up his decades-long connection to hip-hop culture but also makes it know that he has no plans to clout chase or hollow validation. So, when I hear him say “I’m a dangerous threat/ Some fronted, then they paid the respect/ I’m from the age of the pager, where we played the cassette/ So I gotta rep the era I’m from cause we’re a dying breed/ On the low, I just wanna get high and read.” I really couldn’t agree more.

Planet Asia follows suit with a verse doesn’t shy away from the gritty realities of life but still finds a way to keep the upbeat mood of the song intact. So even though he drops lines about crack spots and trailer park fiends, he balances it out with dope lines like “Pardon this dust/ Plus this underarm must could make George Clinton second guessed this type of funk (yeah!).” Finally, Ras Kass brings the song to a close with a verse that turns the limelight on his distinctive rasp and sharp-witted rhymes. In his signature hard-to-pin-down style, he effortlessly rides the beats while keeping the listener guessing as to when and where his rhymes and punchline will drop. He also delivers some of the most memorable lines of the song, “I cook up dope traditional/ Analog lines, microphone fiends sniffing you/ Bumps all/ Life’s a cliff dive and I jumps off (woooo)/ Kiss my ass, cannonball with my trunks off!”

Ultimately, “Pardon Our Dust” is a standout track from the Uncut Gems album that demonstrates Dillon‘s ability to hold his own among hip hop greats. This song serves as a celebration of the uniqueness that each artist brings to the table while also reminding fans that the timeless hip-hop remains alive and thriving.
