Review: Jacob Didas – “Rise & Fall”(Single)

Buffalo, NY has transformed into a Hip Hop hotbed of grimy grandiosity…largely due in part to WestSideGunn & his illustrious Griselda Records labelmates. With the emergence of Jacob Didas on the scene, listeners are granted an alternative spin on the hometown sound as the ascendant artist flips the script for “Rise & Fall!” Upstate’s new sonic auteur bumrushes the set with an electronic sizzler composed of existentialist views and high-energy grooves galore. He cuts through the madness to leave his demons at bay & party ’til the cops arrive at the door.

Aside from the relentless rhythms, Jacob also proves to be a chameleon on the mic. The rapper alters his voice & boldly shifts between characters to keep the audience guessing what he’ll do next. It’s only the beginning for this talented lyricist. Let him lead you into the light. The Rise of Jacob Didas is upon us with no fall from grace in sight!
