DC The Don’s new single, “Riff Raff 2013,” is a throwback to the internet rap of the early 2010s. Every moment is a playful uncertainty. It is that sense of movement that makes the record worth revisiting. Every listen, we hear another detail, another turn, something that makes us come back after the first impression.
The artist takes that earlier time and makes it somewhat of the now, reshaping its spirit into a modern context. It’s so bold, so committed to silliness, and feels so intentional, bridging the past and present while still feeling original.
The song is a reminder that music can be both fun and meaningful. It is not excessive. It just has the energy, the personality, and the feeling of freedom that is hard to ignore. This type of music is something that goes in and stays the way it is.
