    How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

    DRAM feels familiar, old school. Its in his voice, the runs and notes he chooses. That's really been in him since a kid, you can tell. It's in him it ain't on him. AND he's happy af lol cheezing & shit lol which is always good to see...hell I'm happy now lol.

      "D.R.A.M. always was grounded in a diverse range of music. 'I stayed with
      my grandparents a lot growing up and they went to church all the time,'
      he says. 'I sang on the choir. My mom had a little gospel group when I
      was growing up too. But outside of church, I was just on soul music
      heavy. People like Al Green, or those songs that you automatically know
      but never know whose song it is.'"

      I get what you mean, he reminds me of those 80's RNB singers before music was totally over produced. As if they were walking a tight rope and a misstep in any direction would make there voice awful but also made their sound unique.

    His voice is so unique. It's almost off-putting (the way that his voice doesn't always match the style of the instrumental parts), yet at the same time that's why I love it so much. His voice also helps to guide the emotion of the songs really well. Songs that could come off as sad with any other singer come off lighthearted with his voice.
    I'm really happy to see someone with as unique of a style as his become super popular. These past couple of years have been littered with countless singers and rappers that sound so similar that it's hard to tell them apart by their voice alone. D.R.A.M. is a refreshing artist, and I'm glad to have found him through this video.

    I dont really see what everyone else is talkin about here though., Sayin stuff like, his "imperfect" voice still sounds good on these songs though, etc....i think mabe yall underestimate the difficulty level of what he actually pulled off here... just cause hes making it look so damn effortless dont nessesarily mean he aint actually workin his ass off.....hes working alright, believe that. Hopping some big ass vocal gaps and nailing em... Laying down smooth ass runs, keeping perfectly in time with some crazy ass time signitures & making it look like childs play...So yeah, he pretty much pulled off some impressive ass shit... (At least in the humble opinion of a fellow vocalist who really paid close attention to this performance) and his smile and demeanor are soo beautiful. Completely up lifting and utterly contageous! 😀

    • @darriusbest5500
      @darriusbest5500 5 лет назад +12

      Truer words have never been spoken, the vocal flexibility and control he had here, mind you he did the hook and adlibs, when most vocalist are using tracks behind them.

    • @TheWizOfKeyz
      @TheWizOfKeyz 5 лет назад +2

      Darrius Best Thank you sir. 🙏 At least you, & apparently 88 other folks in here still have good taste and ears to recognize real talent when they hear it.👌 And imma say it again, (cause i just cant say it enough 😁) I LOVE this mans smile! & His swaggg....he got swag for days. 💖💖💖

    • @lanab755
      @lanab755 5 лет назад +4

      Talk that talk! Sounds crisp and funky and is a true talent not to be diminished or regulated to "imperfect vocals." This is real music and everything you said is pure FACTS! THANK YOU.

    • @thetaiallen
      @thetaiallen 5 лет назад +5

      What you wrote is untrue. He is not a pure vocalist. His runs are are simple and often out of pitch.
      His SKILL though: pretty ass and memorable melodies; great lyricism that is fun to repeat; and, a presence to live for.
