Gods and Monsters
The Second Coming
The Company You Keep
Damien Streets
Brent William
Who are they? Brent William + Damien Streets = Gods and Monsters. Just a couple of rappers who probably need psychiatric help, that and some money to pay bills and buy Jordans.
This is not your old school new school hip hop. This isn’t
your big brothers homemade mix tape. Flared with real world experience and
dreams, a pumpkin spice coffee and avocado rolls, streets and “the ginger” roll
through words and ideas, dreams and failures, heaven and hell. Never leaving
you behind, tagging a picture of what ifs and could bes.
They don’t sound like House of Pain, and they aren’t a part
of the Young Money Cash Money Millionaires. They are a part of the AZ
underground hip hop scene, which seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Don’t
look for DMX in this crowd, but rather young and old who can see the bigger
picture, who want to be a part of this movement and are willing to march to a
different beat.
Comparing them to other well-known groups is unjustifiable.
But If I had to create a mash up I would say they have the stylings of
slaughterhouse, some D12, and the powerful words of NaS. But to add a label to
who they are would toss them into the pond of wannabe “rappers” and “Juggalos”.
Download their album, not because you’re a ‘hip hop’
follower, but because you want to support the AZ hip hop scene, you want to
think outside the box, you don’t want to be a follower but a leader. Don’t be
the sheep. Be the wolf.
Gods and Monsters……..lyrical serial killers.
