Elite Rap Bars: Power Play

True to its name, "CHOPPD" is a two-part sonic journey through the mind of Dot Cromwell. On the hard-hitting anthem produced by Swanky, Zane Durham, & JAYSON TODD, Cromwell plays a balancing act between pure bravado & deep-cutting introspection.

True to his independent roots, Cromwell continues to be a voice and ally for a generation of DIY artists, with lyrics like "I gotta do it if I want it right, all-nighters for a hundred nights" & "They want the credit but ain't do the work, leaders were soldiers don't ever forget it"!

At the song's halfway mark, the tone, feel, and sonics veer off to a more vulnerable direction channeling Cromwell's ability to pull beautiful lyrics from challenging places. Cromwell opens this stream of consciousness with "Overthinking did I really change, say she love me is it really game, had to cut some people out the frame, big picture they just wanted fame. From here, listeners follow Cromwell down a rabbit hole unpacking; topics such as police brutality, self-hate, community-based violence, and the systematic destruction of today's black family unit.
