What I am listening to > DRS: Everything Must Go Mixtape

Discovering a song, then an album can be eye opening.


Going from something you like the sound of to being exposed to concepts key for these times, so fresh UK Drum and Bass, Hip-Hop vibe.

The mixtape kicks off with a monologue from DRS about wiping his digital life away and starting fresh - something that not a lot of people would dare do. Then the first track is On Us Lately, a sign of the times:

“Don’t know what’s going on,
All this pressure us lately, lately
Tell me what’s going on,
All these lessons gonna break me, break me.

Cause if it’s faded now,
And the way we deal with pressure’s breaking down,
And I know that life’s a circus while we play the clown,
When the unexpected comes and throws us to the ground,
We’ll make it out.”

Really hits home considering the last three years and current sitiution. It’s not been easy in so many areas. Take a listen, it’s a smooth journey into UK bass driven Drum and Bass.
