With an artistic temperament that oozes off of him even before he can open his mouth, you can clearly tell that DaboFlai was born for the stage and the limelight. If there is anything his impressive catalog has demonstrated thus far, it is that he is not only a certified entertainer but also a progressive artist. His style defies obvious classifications and transcends easy categorizations as he blends a signature hip-hop brand with a stunning mosaic of influences ranging from dark pop, punk rock, jazz, and alternative. This is exactly what makes his music hard to describe but easy to listen to. Offering a powerful experience where authentic rap blends with strong messages, a sense of creativity, and intense productions, there is nowhere you’d rather be than right here with him by your side.
As someone who has often described himself as the happiest man alive, it’s incredibly hard to argue with that, as he consistently feeds us with music that is not only emotionally gratifying but also one with universal appeal. I mean, have you listened to “Don’t Look Down,” an enchanting collaboration with fellow rapper Riqo LaRon? If not, worry no more, because I got you.
The intro is laden with the sweet-sounding and gentle strums of acoustic guitar, immediately capturing a listener’s attention and laying the way for the guest emcee, Riqo, to set the foundation. You can tell he came well-armed thanks to his noteworthy contribution, which sees him blend some thoughtful bars and to-the-point verses that underscore the track’s overall inspiration.
With the foundation sufficiently laid, DaboFlai jumps on the mix, promptly capturing a listener’s imagination with the memorable chorus that sticks in the mind like a glue. The beat now is intense, reminiscent of pop-punk energy, with the pounding drums and bass as well as other quintessential percussion and our ever-present guitar melodies exuding this high-energy feel that is guaranteed to get anyone amped up.
DaboFlai is sleek on the mic, rhythmically and effortlessly riding the beat in a way that is both commanding and easy. His lyrics are reflective, capturing the essence of a world deteriorating, but with an empowering tone that seeks to challenge anyone to not go down with it and rise above the chaos.
To complement “Don’t Look Down” is that eye-catching and well-realized music video with dramatic appeal meant to amplify the song’s strong message whilst capturing the attention of the viewer and listener.
With that said, I feel it is necessary for you to meet what could possibly be your new favorite anthem. How about it?
