TURN THE WORLD AROUND
“Hip-hop’s dead,” if you ask the old heads. “Nobody’s doing real shit anymore,” say the young heads whose record collections and wardrobes look like they borrowed them from the old heads.
But maybe all these fans are not looking hard enough. You want evidence of living, breathing hip-hop that’s as real as anything in your carefully curated crates and playlists? Daemon is it.
Check out his latest single, “Turn the World Around,” and you’ll hear it all: Expertly chopped soul samples from Steve Spiffler. Neck-snapping breakbeats from Spiffler and Adrians Beats. And at the center of it all, the razor-sharp flow of Daemon, a rapper who packs years of raw experience — in life and in the studio — into every line he delivers. When he says, “Can’t be stopped, better get out the way,” you’d better pay attention.
You won’t be the only one paying attention, either. “Turn the World Around” — out now from BLK Breakfast, Daemon’s imprint at Breakfast Music Group — appears in the XBOX exclusive game Forza Horizon 5, released Nov. 9 2021. The song is featured in ads for the game, too.
