Makin It Sound by Da Crook
Toronto Music Archive
Da Crook recently dropped his newest single titled "Makin It Sound," and it's safe to say that it's his finest drill track to date. What's impressive is how he consistently manages to create melodic and infectious drill tunes that truly get the audience riled up. He delivers some heavy energy here, and his approach has a broad appeal that I absolutely love. Over the past two years, Da Crook has been making waves throughout the city with his music. His infectious bars and melodic delivery are hard to ignore and have become his trademark. What sets him apart is his ability to steer clear of the drama and distractions that often drag down other street rappers, this is a continuous topic that I like to address since we have been seeing so many talented rappers either pass or get nocked. It's a true blessing to witness his rise in the drill scene, as his music stands out as some of the best in the genre. Da Crook's aesthetic and demeanor are also noteworthy factors that contribute to his success. I highly recommend watching his interview with Keep6ixsolid, where you can gain a deeper understanding of the person behind the microphone. In a genre known for its dangerous nature and the prevalence of hate, Da Crook has managed to excel and maintain his position as one of the finest drill artists out there. "Makin It Sound" lives up to its title, showcasing Da Crook's knack for delivering profound lyrics and addressing important topics. It's impressive how he manages to craft such a catchy and memorable drill track without sacrificing substance. Even though most drill artists rely on one-dimensional and similar-sounding beats, Da Crook breaks that mold without overstepping the boundaries. The beat on this track is one of his most aggressive, complemented by his iconic ad-libs, which play a significant role in making his music so infectious and unforgettable. It’s almost like his trademark to add those ad-libs. Da Crook stands out as one of the most melodic drill rappers in the game today. His music has a party vibe that you could easily hear at a lively gathering or on the radio. But as you delve deeper into his lyrics, you start to understand the depth behind his "commercial drill" approach. Da Crook has carved out his own lane in the industry, and only a handful few drill rappers in the city can match his quality. His unique flow and hard-hitting ad-libs bring an exciting sound to the forefront of Toronto's music scene. I’m excited to see what Da Crook has in store for us next. It would be dope to see him release a project or do an unexpected collab with some major artists. The potential for him to expand his fanbase on a global scale is immense and I can’t wait to see what he does next.
