Doller Da Dustman is one of the most consistent Grime artists in the Grime scene and while he is not one of the most Prolific or Flamboyant he is one of the most respected with the Cold Blooded member and Movement affiliate has dropped over 10 mix tapes and countless hot guest appearances bringing his energetic and on point flow to others tracks and projects.
After the success of the highly rated 'Set to be King' as well as some hot performances on the Zdot 'Route to success vol 2' mix tape Doller Da Dustman has wasted no time dropping his latest mix tape 'The Art of Rhyming'
Starting off things with 'Acitivity' which is his version of the Target and Danny Weed classic and sees Doller Da Dustman on top form with him spitting some gully bars with a rapid flow which sits perfectly on the track ("I got a Pablo Escobar Dream, hello Tony Montana,This aint Hanna Montanna more like George and Diego in Blow if they had weight they Move slow") and its a real lesson in the Art of Rhyming from there with Doller spitting in consistently and showing he can work various flows effortlessly. Check out 'Fire in my heart','Act Loose' and 'Push to the edge' featuring Ghetts as these tracks really exemplify this other noteworthy tracks are the UK rap banger 'Slugs' featuring Mercston & G-Frsh 'Promised Land' featuring Kush and the dark infectious 'Back of my bike' featuring Ghetts which sees Doller and Ghetts on a Ride out mission as well as 'Take 'em out the Game' with Doller spitting for the hustler's ("First I want to thank my connect ,no names street rules I respect,the art of flipping got me looking fresh,to my hustler's that be taking no rest!") Its refreshing that Doller Da Dustman doesn't confine himself to anyone genre and drops tracks like the R&B tinged 'Like a Queen' which will work well with the females as well as the 'Little Sunshine' which is a heartfelt track dedicated to his niece which works well with Diamond Ice assisting on vocals.
The stand out track on 'Art of Rhyming' has got to be 'Monolo was a mistake' in which Doller writes from the perspective of Scarface after Killing his partner and its a very impressive track as the concept is sick and brings a cinematic feel which is something you rarely get these days with a very well thought out and executed chorus ("Monolo was a mistake,Monolo tried to piss take,all cos of Ginas face, look at you look me, what a disgrace") its a definite banger!
The Art of Rhyming hasn't got any tracks which will make you press fast forward and is a very impressive Street album which won't disappoint unless you don't like tight rhymes, hard hooks and banging production.
9/10 Something every lover of Grime needs in their collection.
