M-Dot – Enough [Single + Video]

M-Dot‘s “Done,” off his album egO anD The eneMy 2: A Dissolute Paradise, dives straight into the unappealing realities of the hip-hop game. Apollo Brown‘s production, a solid mix of boom-bap drums, stark piano, and organ stabs, sets the stage for M-Dot‘s no-frills storytelling. His lyrics cut to the chase, like in “Take a bunch of selfies with you talking through a stack of doe/ Screaming ‘fuck bitches’ while you claiming that you smacking hoes,” exposing the industry’s shamming and misogyny. M-Dot‘s delivery is raw, full of gusto, and drives the point home.

In the music video for “Done,” which was helmed by Johnny Cashless, M-Dot takes on the role of a mentor figure as a young student takes notes. The video takes place in the empty classrooms and hallways of a grade school – providing a eerily vacant backdrop in a place that is usually buzzing with life. As M-Dot troops through the deserted corridors, it symbolizes the often lonely path of those who prioritize their creative integrity over clout chasing.

“Done” is a hard-handed reminder of what hip-hop can be when it’s genuine: storytelling with a purpose, a commentary that’s incisive and insightful. M-Dot challenges his listeners to look beyond the facade – thumping ears with a steely rundown of the dark side of stardom.
