Album Review: The D.Y.E - Sorry For The Stickers

StarStarHalf Star

"This Melbourne outfit haven’t evolved with the times to more intricate genre tastes."

Spun with an ultra-positive outlook, this retro-styled release comprises slow, one-paced rapping and sluggish scratching. No Matter The Weather sets the sunny, Aussie hip hop mood in which a whistling flute proves an obvious Hilltop Hoods wannabe move. In addition, nostalgic number Rewind The Clock captures the essence of elevator music with its loungey vibe and chipper horns. This Melbourne outfit haven't evolved with the times to more intricate genre tastes, rendering their line, “'90s were the peak of beats and hip hop,” both self-consciously ironic and unfortunate.
