ThisisDA - Super Arkane

UK rapper ThisisDA drops his new mixtape, Super Arkane, which you can download here. While he's not far along enough just yet to have sculpted his own, unique style, the dude's delivery gets more and more compelling with each new track. The smooth, grooving instrumentals courtesy of Mankub help as well! Enjoy.

ThisisDA - "Gridlock"

ThisisDA's new video for "Gridlock" is, like the single it accompanies, chock full of analogue artifacts. The visuals have a worn VHS aesthetic, bleeding/ghosting galore, that pairs nicely with the vinyl crackle of the track's old-school instrumental (again, courtesy of Mancunian producer Mankub). The track will appear on the Bristol MC's debut album Super Arkane, due out February 25.

ThisisDA - "Trippin'"

With the flute-kissed "Trippin'," previously mentioned Bristol rapper ThisisDA delivers what might be his most colorful track yet. Over the blissful beat, ThisisDA's flow and sung hook sound positively ecstatic. Another reason to look forward to his debut mixtape Super Arkane, due out next month. Happy listening!

ThisisDA - "Unstoppable"

Bristol rapper ThisisDA packs a lot in a short amount of time with new single "Unstoppable." The track last only a minute and a half, but features a sweet, jazzy instrumental from Ecstra Kool and a compelling set a bars from ThisisDA (a teetotal himself), detailing a man in a troubled relationship with an alcoholic girlfriend.

"Unstoppable" is further evidence that the young MC has a keen ear for beats and a gift for storytelling. However, it will not be on ThisisDA's upcoming debut album Super Arkane, which is due out later this month.

ThisisDA - "No Wave"

Above, check out another cut from Bristol-based rapper ThisisDA's upcoming debut Super Arkane. Atop "No Wave"'s gleaming Evil Needle and Sivey-produced beat, the 19-year-old MC continues delivering on his great potential, reflecting on his recent, somewhat tumultuous stint in film school, as well as on his status as a young up-and-comer in the game. But so long as ThisisDA keeps putting out tracks like this, he has a very promising future in just continuing to do his own thing.

ThisisDA - "Elysium"

Bristol-based MC ThisisDA has shared another cut from his upcoming LP Super Arkane. With its piano-laden hook, understated beat, and laid-back flow, "Elysium" is in stark contrast to the hard-hitting boom-bap of "Lifers," but ThisisDA's decidedly conscious lyricism and Mankub's colorful production still shine through. Check it out above!

ThisisDA - "Lifers"

British rapper ThisisDA is slated to release his full-length debut, Super Arkane, later this year. Above, check out the project's lead single, "Lifers," a simultaneously hard-hitting and colorful piece of boom-bap produced by Mancunian beatsmith Mankub, who lends instrumentals to the entire album. Enjoy!
