Don’t worry, this isn’t an ode to President Barry. On “Political Dialogue,” South Carolina rapper/producer Mantiz walks the well worn path of an aspiring hip-hop artist struggling against industry politics. “Political Dialogue” serves as a reminder of how compelling a rapper can be when he’s at the very bottom of the food chain. The song samples “Bumpy’s Lament” by Isaac Hayes, which was recently used by Freddie Gibbs on “Something New” and most prominently by Dr. Dre on “Xxplosive.” Mantiz’ project The Preface: Democracy is on the way.
