With North London stamped into his cadence, the rapper bares his tooth as he waxes lyrical, delivering unfuckwithable power in a observe that proves him fearless in manufacturing in addition to efficiency.
Warning isn’t stitched from the anticipated grime templates; it’s a twisted, virtually carnivalesque sonic beast, darkened on the edges but pierced by harmonies harmless sufficient to really feel like a fevered hallucination of a faculty choir. That juxtaposition sharpens the menace, exhibiting listeners the total repercussions of fucking about and discovering out.
Davvo Bars has lengthy been reducing his tooth behind the scenes, writing for pirate radio within the early 2000s and later making his mark as a sound engineer earlier than incomes consideration via collaborations with Hearth within the Spoof. His debut solo single, I’m Not Dave, marked the beginning of his rise, however Warning alerts the shift from contender to severe presence.
Together with his wit as fast as his Machiavellian motifs, he transcends something at present pushed by GRM, proving grime can collapse into one thing darker and stranger so long as there are pioneers ready to push into the shadows of unchartered terrotory. Wanting forward, his forthcoming multi-disciplinary mission, Mission Alpha, will lengthen his narratives into movie, charting masculinity, loss, and fractured id in North London. We’re already determined for the drop after getting hooked on Warning.
Warning is now obtainable on all main streaming platforms, together with YouTube.
