DYMOND CHILD’S DEBUT ALBUM SHINE UP, IS A SLICK BLEND OF CREATIVITY, UNIQUE PRODUCTION, & A DISTINCT, LO-FI SOUND ARE THE STAPLES OF THIS HOT, INDEPENDANT RELEASE. DYMOND, A 22 YEAR OLD, REGGAE SINGER/WRITER PERFORMS FLUENTLY OVER THE HIPHOP & R&B STYLINGS OF HOT, NEW PRODUCER SHAKE DUA. WITH ONLY ONE “STANDARD” REGGAE TUNE ON THE ENTIRE ALBUM, ARTIST & PRODUCER ARE BREAKING THE MOLD. WITH BRAGGADOCIO NORMALLY RESERVED FOR HIPHOP MIC KILLERS, DYMOND INTROS THE ALBUM WITH RICH NOW, AN EARLY EXPRESSION OF WHAT HE FEELS THE OUTCOME MUST BE. FROM TRACK ONE TO SIXTEEN, OVER GUITARS & PIANOS, DRUMS & BASS, DYMOND TELLS HIS STORY & FUNNY ENOUGH, HIS STORY MIGHT REMIND YOU OF YOURS. FROM MACHISMO TO PAIN , CHARM TO HUMOR, DYMOND IS ENGAGING, ENTHUSIASTIC , & EVEN ELOQUENT AT TIMES. THE OUTRO “IT’S ALRIGHT”, IS A DEFINITIVE COMMENTARY ON HIS LIFE TO THIS POINT, THE VERY LAST LINE ON THE ALBUM SUMS IT ALL UP “WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN TO IT, I WILL GET CHOOSED”.
