Sensational x The Dirty Sample - The Game (video)

 

“There’s something going on…” Legendary Brooklyn MC Sensational breaks down how to play the game and achieve longevity on the latest single from his new album, The Spot Rocker, a collaboration with Calgary veteran producer The Dirty Sample, who provides a quirky, throwback boom bap beat dominated by violin and stuttering drums. The lo-fi, self-produced video features a few of Sensational’s many loves: filmed in his newly acquired home studio with big bills on the walls, the video opens with his cat and features him smoking a joint while rapping. Neither flashy nor gimmicky, the bare bones video is exactly what one would expect from this uncompromising artist.

Sensational x The Dirty Sample - The Spot Rocker

 

Groundbreaking Brooklyn MC Sensational returns with a new album produced by veteran Calgary producer The Dirty Sample. For this unique collaborative experience, The Dirty Sample serves up a selection of his dusty, cinematic beats for Sensational’s distinct chunk o’ bliss swagger, his delivery both laidback and stylin’. The lyrics are heavy with braggadocio that revolves around his weed and drink intake, his drip, and his savvy with the ladies. Joining Sensational on The Spot Rocker are Ol’ Gorilla Bones, the latest MC alias of The Dirty Sample, and Hawd Gankstuh Rappuh MCs Wid Ghatz members Guy Albino and Flybot Van Damn dropping their first over-the-top raps in 20+ years. The Spot Rocker is an album for the musically adventurous.

Sensational is stylin’, and you’re invited to the party. Blamp!

The first single from this collaboration is “The Best (Success)”, a braggadocio battle rap track anchored by a sexy organ and flute beat banger on which Sensational, with his trademark laidback delivery, claims his well-deserved spot in this hip hop game. “Success,” he raps on the chorus, “I deserve nothing less”. And you deserve nothing less than the best.
