Raps about Traps
“Dayz of a criminal” features smooth, laid-back rhymes about the traps of growing up black in a country rigged against you. The words are bleak, provocative, and fiendishly intelligent, and Twoseven’s flow has an effortless quality that’s easy to digest, set against a dark, trappy, beat. This kind of content is exactly what we should be listening to in an era of #blacklivesmatter. If you like hiphop, turn off your Kanye and Jay-Z, and plug into the kind of song that hip hop was actually meant for.
