Album: The Dirty Grimey Lp

Label: Dirty Grimey Entertainment

It’s official: hip hop today is in a bad state. With songs like ‘Laffy Taffy’ and movements like Hyphy, the future of the rap world looks bleak. That is, until now. It’s been three years since Believe dropped his self-titled debut EP, the result of this hiatus is ‘The Dirty Grimey Lp’. With two hot tracks already gaining underground success in Atlanta (‘Trap Hustla’ and ‘Bang Bang’) Believe appears to be onto a winner. It’s been three years since his last release and the rap game has undergone some major changes. No one knows this more than the man himself. On ‘The Dirty Grimey Lp’, the S.C. native (and current Atlanta resident) comes at the rap game hard. His beats and lyrics are mind blowing and one of a kind. Flawless track selection along with his amazing songwriting skills help the upcoming star to shine on his full-length debut, one that should not be overlooked by any true fan of urban music. Yes, Believe is back with a 21-track album to wet the appetite of a nation of rap listening lovers. The new album contains well laid out tracks with beats that blend perfectly with Believe’s diverse rap style. The production ranges from heavy southern style beats to hard core hip hop tracks and also includes Believe’s signature sound he aptly calls “Futuristic-Crunk”. (Listen for it on songs such as ‘One Time’ and the sexually charged ‘My Room.’) Believe’s unique and flowing hardcore lyrics are shown early on in tracks such as ‘Stomp’ and ‘Carolina Heat’, where Believe displays more of his street edge.   From there, he also puts emphasis on songs relating to his struggle growing up in the south with records such as ‘All I Needed.’ In all, this album is FULL of hot tracks start to finish. A unique and amazing album by a ground breaking, articulate artist. ‘The Dirty Grimey Lp’ is nothing short of a triumphant "return" for one of Atlanta’s most revered underground emcees.
