DB Tha General is one of the Bay area's most energizing presences, and this leak from his upcoming I Shine, We All Shine finds the rapper in peak form. Over a minimal slap punctuated by intermittent vocal samples, the rapper makes the best use of verses in what has become the DB formula: references to classic 1980s hip hop, a shredded, Lil Boosie-like vocal timbre and an unpredictable rhythmic approach that makes his music seem improvised, and all the more visceral for it.
