Dante’s mind blowing release! by CyPhEr777

DANTE EVERGLADE-BLOWN TWEETERS EVOLVE MUSIC

Dante Everglade a.k.a. Negro Scoe hits us hard with a dope EP entitled “Blown Tweeters”. Dante has been on the scene since around 95, releasing independent joints here and there and released a fantastic EP called “Vegas Escapades” in 2004. Although a product of Kansas City, he has West Coast Connections also being a part of a dope Cali crew named the “Hip Hop Addicts”. So, Negro has paid his dues and is about to set this world ablaze with this newest effort.

Although only being 9 tracks long (including a hidden track), you still get an entertaining offering. The “Intro” sets the rest of the EP up by, detailing the difference between Hip-Hop and Rap. Even to this day, many are still confused about the difference of the two. The “Intro” pretty much sets the record straight on that subject matter. The title track “Blown Tweeters” hits us off with eerie echoes and an abstract drum pattern set to induce major head nodding. On this track Dante switches with an on-beat/off-beat flow that fits perfectly with the dark background he was given. He comes thru with tight lines like:

 “It’s Dante Everglade! The beat provokes my script.

  Eternally connected, verbally effected

  Verses selected, service makes others nervous.”

This track quickly will become one of your favorites!

Normally I skip over interludes but, the “Noise Complaint” skit is hard to pass up. This hilarious interlude has a Napoleon Dynamite type character (an officer) who’s responding to a noise pollution complaint. Even though it’s meant as comedy relief, it touches on the stereo types Hip Hop constantly faces. Next is the smooth vibed “Innovate Don’t Hate”. Dante slows down his flow to again match the tempo of the beat laid before him. This track show off his lyrical dexterity as well as the diversity of it’s beat makers in duo Acumen and Dusty Rhythms. Things get a little controversial in “Blind Obedience” where Negro touches on the recent mishaps of the Commander In Chief (Bush). Here he employs us to see thru the lies of our government and the media. You will also hear sound clips of Bush throughout the track.

Great things continue on the second half as they did on the first with, innovative topics. A relationship issue is the topic on “My Butterfly”. Again, Dante’s even keeled flow is what draws you in and keeps you interested. The beat while simple, is nice and bubbly and creates a beautiful environment for the emcee to spit to. “Verse Servin” is where Scoe plays with different braggadocio type flows and styles. It’s a fun track that’ll get multiple replays. Then we end all this greatness with “Sidewalk… Timmy”. This instrumental along with the hidden track that follows, showcase more of the skills that Acumen and Dusty bring to this EP. Blown Tweeters is a solid effort meaning, not one song is weak on here. The production is a perfect fit to what Dante Everglade wants to accomplish. The name Dante Everglade or Negro Scoe will speak for itself once his skills are acknowledged. What else can I say?
