Carolina Dirty redeems Hip Hop with new single

     In an industry where raw lyricism has been forsaken to unfortunately make room for watered-down booty shaking ballads, and sometimes down right incomprehensible gibberish, one would be hard pressed to find artists, who still gravitate toward the principle of rhyming with substance.


Carolina Dirty

     Yet, Carolina Dirty - with a healthy assist from her brother Spectac - goes against today's established paradigm and delivers a lyrical morsel in the form of her latest single Good Neighbor. The 4:12 second track serves as an honest love letter to the '90s Golden Age era of Hip Hop.

     And yet, while the song is a link to the past, it stays firmly anchored in the present as a banger that can compete with any mainstream song out on the market today.

     Going back and forth with her brother Spectac over a carefully crafted beat by Amiri, that samples the State Farm Insurance tune, Carolina Dirty indeed disproves the proclamation that Hip Hop is dead.

     The single is a precursor to her upcoming LP, STILLATIT/ Still At It, which will be distributed by HiPNOTT records in the near future. Here's the video to Good Neighbor ft. Spectac below. Check it out.
