I just came across this one after taking a week or so off from SubmitHub. After hearing it, even though I wish I’d seen it earlier, I had to write something about it. Dax’s “40 Days 40 Nights” features the North American rhymesayer ripping a piano-heavy beat all while explaining why he’s unlike others in his weight class. Add that to a video that parodies pop culture and hip-hop conventions in a way that’s equal parts reminiscent of Tech N9ne and of Childish Gambino and you’ve got yourself a hit. That’s before South African artist Nasty C hops on the mic and adds his take on the subject. All in all, it’s a great song–one that gets the SOTB Stamp of Approval and makes me want to hear his debut album that much more. Check it out below and remember to support dope music in all its forms.
