Okay, so this is how you make singing in hip hop work. DNYDK seems to have taken a page out of the T-Pain handbook. Someone who can actually sing using autotune as a tool, a toy, because it’s fun. The music is moody, smoky, just as his voice. It’s not pop. Closer to midnight R&B. But there are still very obvious elements of hip hop here. Namely that he does rap on the album. This is just a smooth album that really went under-the-radar. Opening the album with an actual waltz…? Bold.
