Despite our best efforts, their counter measures have proven to be immensely effective. We have been impregnated with fear by their gods of war and destruction as a result of the intellectual starvation enforced upon us. This has lead a normally peaceful population to dabble in the darkest of arts to have a ranking in their murderous metropolis. Every venture of rebellion has been quelled by the infiltration of informants. These are the remnants of the old society where betrayal is profitable. However, in this new world of classism, snitches are not just eradicated but their souls are cursed forever. The only way to be free from our demons is to let them feast.

Like so many kids born backwards into an endless digital landscape of ahistorical rap plenitude, Atlanta's rap/rocker Dorien Gray (better known to the world as Sonny Amsterdam), writes by channeling — and lovingly warping — a carefully curated set of political and social references that can only be classified as revolutionary. It's the sound of mechanized modern rituals, conjuring a strange kind of nowhere feeling. Speeding down a dark highway late at night, you could be anywhere in the world. Mirroring the thoughts of Dave Walter, "when things get heavy, when small points of stress congeal into a great weight of insurmountable sorrow, sometimes there's nothing to do but hide. But instead of going off the radar, when it seems there's no hope, Sonny Amsterdam emerges as the last gladiator hell-bent on avenging the death of a slave generation. 

This isn't just due to his devouring, slightly anti-effeminate voice; full of explosive wonder, Sonny is prone to passionate eruptions. Nor is it just the endearing soberness of his melodies. It’s not simply the daydream haze of the reverb, the big-small magic of the song structure, the charmingly reverential apron-tugging of the influences, the anxiety which flows quietly beneath the surface, or the occasional flaw from an unconscious stubbornness. Of course, it is all these things. But it's something else, something grander which really brings about his fans big brother instinct. Coupling of contemporary avant-rock techniques with futuristic rap sonics feels like something that should have been done a long time ago. Perhaps it's because rap rock has been considered such toxic ground that no one had quite discovered this hybrid strain until now.

Is he the devil like the boys in the crisp white shirts and black ties riding on ten speeds say that he is? Could it be possible that is he is the reincarnated liberating force that music have been waiting for? Depending on your response, despite underlying prejudices, Sonny Amsterdam is here to knock this planet off its axis. He is anarchy on a crack/meth concoction.
