RuMeal’s dark and mysterious release ‘Dollars’

One of the problems with hip-hop stars and rappers once they have hit the big time is that as much as they rhyme and revel in the dark embrace of the streets which may have been the subject of the songs which got them there, when they have a chauffeur and a place in the hills, it all seems so ingenuous. RuMeal to come from an altogether more real place.

The music is intense, claustrophopic even, mixing skittering beats with urban vibes, sweet distant harmonies and with wandering layers of vocals forming wonderful contrasts and collisions. Dollars is dark, mysterious, confrontational and infectious and coming from RuMeal, totally convincing.
