Above, we’ve got the latest single from LOCS, the booming “D4TC” (or “Down 4 The Count”). The track finds the artist warning those who doubt him or play with him wrong. However, it’s more than just threats against the opposition. Otherwise, it’d probably be passed on and not written about by me.

Like the bet-on-yourself anthem “Hand To The Sky,” “Count” showcases LOCS as an artist listeners should pay attention to. That’s because he’s got a great mix of lyrical hip-hop and hard-hitting bop potential wrapped into one package. In other words, check this man out before he blows all the way up. Additionally, the fact that he’s been holding onto this one since the pandemic started is a testament to the adage “good things come to those who wait.”

This song was the focus track for his ARRIVAL EP. ARRIVAL is a seven-track EP which see LOCS announcing his plans to stay for a long time, and not just for a good time. It’s a very concise project, one that should be heard as soon as you can.
