Track by track with Dynamite MC

Intro

“I guess I was, in some ways, minutely insecure that people wouldn’t know who I was, or my history, so I used this intro to run through all the classics [laughs]. So, you get vocal snippets here of all the things I’ve been on. So, anyone could listen and go ‘Oh. He did Brown Paper Bag, or whatever.

“It was just my Reprazent discography over this orchestral Roman chanting beat. I wanted it to sound like something big was about to happen. Like it was an opening of a show. Like, ‘Here we go!’.”

Mar-Val-Luss

“Skitz produced this beat. It has three different changes in it, so I did vocals as three different characters – Luss The Rusty Cutlass, Marv The Miracle, and Val Kilmur. One was the struggling hip-hop artist, getting held down because of his accent. One was a very aggressive street man. Then the dancehall energy guy at the end.

“I had people ask me how I knew]. I loved that ‘crew element’ of groups like Wu-Tang. I wondered how I could be a crew all-in-one.”
