Dirt Disciples (Rome Clientel & DJ Concept) feat. Torae – Panoramic [Audio]

If you’re flipping a classic rap sample for a new track, you damn well better do it justice. Well, that’s exactly what we’re getting here on “Panoramic,” the menacing new single from NY duo Dirt Disciples that’ll inspire thoughts about a certain Hip-Hop chef. You have to hand it to one half of this gritty rap tag team, DJ Concept. The Long Island rep provides the listener with a taste of nostalgia while injecting a brooding sensibility via a snarling bassline. His rhyming collaborator is no slouch either, as Elmira, NY’s Rome Clientel bodies his competition with dead-eyed, no-bullshit bars. And you have to love this callback to pro wrestling’s glory days: “The Tito Santana of rap/ Hop the top turnbuckle, wave my arms, drop kick to the back/ Motherf*ckers.” The New York connection only grows stronger with a guest verse from Coney Island native Torae. He closes out the track in high fashion, gritting his teeth and spitting bars reminiscent of Jay Z classic, “So Ghetto.” Dirt Disciples’ “The Ambition” EP impacts October 9th via Soulspazm. In addition to Torae, the project boasts collaborators such as actor/gifted rapper Rick Gonzalez (Coach Carter) and Sacramento indie rap prince, Chuuwee.

Rome Clientel x DJ Concept Are Dirt Disciples [Free EP]

In the rap game, like society, change is not an immediate force, but more so a gradual process brought about through innovation. We can’t predict specific events, or stars that will arise, but we can use our intuition to determine who’s hot and who’s not. But in order for this genre to thrive, we need to have an open platform, and let people enter the game free from bias. The street poets and hard-nosed beats are just as much a necessity as the party raps. If you’re in need of the former, look no further than Dirt Disciples, the recently formed emcee/producer duo, consisting of Elmira NY’s Rome Clientel, and Long Island’s DJ Concept. As Rome lays down the rhymes and Concept provides some fresh loops for this laid back, yet uplifting EP, we’re reminded that the relationship between the emcee and DJ is essential. From the moving lead single “I Hear Voices,” to the closer, “Divine World,” Dirt Disciples reveals that there’s still a crowd that’s down for Hip-Hop as a social movement. Give this a spin and be on the lookout for the duos forthcoming ‘Black Ivory’ EP, followed by their currently untitled, full scale effort.. stay tuned!
