Denisse Takes – Break [Single]

The track “Break” really shows off Denisse Takes and her music, cutting through all the noise in the music world with  precision and grit. Without veering into complicated critique, Takes gets straight to the point – calling out the way that the rap game often sidelines female artists with razor sharp wit and spirit. “You know, it’s really fucking simple / Fuck anyone who says women can’t rap cause you’re the bitch,” Denisse asserts, making it clear she’s ready to stand up and fight for what she believes in. It’s a declaration of war, but one more focused on the battles that fuel her art.

Produced and arranged by Sam Poetry, the beat calls back to hip-hop’s early 90’s heyday, yet manages to feel completely of the moment. A blend of twangy guitar loops and lo-res drums forms a simple, yet potent backdrop, setting the scene for Takes‘s aggressive lyrical onslaught. Highlighted through the production choice, the raw intensity of the track and Denisse‘s unabashed vocal delivery are put front and center.

The straightforward nature of “Break” is what sets it apart. Takes isn’t interested in making compromises or blending in;  she’s marking her territory as an important voice in the scene.  The strength of the track comes from its concentrated message, presented plainly without any unnecessary complexity. It reminds us that in hip-hop, sometimes the most impactful messages are those delivered directly, without bending or yielding.
