A blunt stream of consciousness. A crash course in reality. A 15-track demonstration displaying maturity, growth, pain and beauty.

Inspired by the great Gil Scott Heron, Dell-P returns – shortly after the release of his acclaimed A New Beginning. The jazzy, soul filled production credits are given to frequent partner in rhyme Samad Dawson.

To keep this far from another album review that you probably won’t read, let the music allow you to draw your own opinion. This is black excellence. Painted vividly, some may continue to turn their heads the other way and ignore reality. But this dense of a release is necessary in 2016 and graciously accepted from fans of true school hip-hop and awoken members of society. It’s deeper then rapping over beats – this lp embodies the word “message”, as Dell-P is known to offer. Peace and love, world.

For those unfamiliar, Dell-P is an acclaimed Philadelphia artist and skilled lyricist who has been swaying under the radar for a few years now. He returns with “Iceman” to kick off the new year properly, with a 44 bar, golden-era excursion. The track’s title is derived from the late great NBA pioneer George ” The Iceman” Gervin (#44), which refers to the fact that he is in this for the long haul. Dell-P is certainly here to stay and the amount of moves he’s making in Philadelphia are quite admirable.  This record is one for all the real hip-hop junkies who miss that pure, uncut 90’s sound. Be on the lookout for his upcoming album A New Beginning, set to be released this year.
