amplify dot - three little pigs

this one is quite freshly released from a.dots latest mixtape "spare parts" and after listening to the whole shebang, i thought this was the best of the collection. the mixtape itself is i believe something for the fans to hold on to until her album debut, as she signed with virgin/emi a few months ago. a twelve tracker with a few stonking fresh track including this track and the show-n-prove produced "get down" that was given a few days ago as a tease.

dot kicks some razor sharp rhymes with the viewpoint that she is the villainous character in a few select children stories, like "snow white" and "three little pigs". all over this really banging beat with jamaican horns samples and what sounds like a chopped up break from the commodores' "the assembly lines". together with a womping bass and a kick that punches in hard.

it sits on the line of going completely into wobblecore or brostep during the hooks but it stays there. even near the end where dottys vocals are bitcrushed and the sounds are a bit more mental it doesn't go over the line which is healthy as i'm not that.

ultra banging track from one of the best rappers around at the moment. grab the mixtape and buy here album once it's done and released
