One To Know: Upcoming South London Artist DC And His New Single: “Tears, Sweat, Blood”
“Tears, Sweat, and Blood” is the latest release from the South-London artist DC. The tune is melodically, somewhere between drill and grime and the rap oozes a sort of chilled UK Garage rhythm. DC definitely showcases his signature flow with his lyrics on his life and work making music.
The lyrics flow with ease whilst telling a story: “glad that I put in the work I took me a loss and it wasn't a drought...” and DC has a laid back sort of style of rapping that rides so well with the rhythm. The song was produced by producer TSB who has successfully worked with other artists such as J-Hus and Loski. We think this is one of DC’s best out so far and is worth your ears and attention.
