Hip-Hop, Rap | Virginia Beach’s DP tells you to “Wait” no more
Posted by admin on October 16, 2015
Abrasive, gritty, and ruthless are all adjectives that can describe Virginia Beach native, DP’s newest release. After an extended hiatus, DP is back like he never left. “Wait” clocks in at just under two minutes, packed to the brim with raw rapping. What the song lacks in a chorus, it makes up with in lyricism.
Check out DP’s new Tumblr page as well which has information on his forthcoming album as well as a behind the scenes look at the music.
Electro | Daft Punk – Drive (Unreleased from 1994)

I will let Soma Records do the talking. Get it HERE.
“At the tail end of 2010 we combed through boxes of DATs, pictures and god knows what else to find artefacts of Soma’s early days,” Chris Lamb (from Soma, Daft Punk’s first label) writes. “Imagine our surprise when we discovered a tape simply titled ‘Daft Drive’. We hooked up the DAT machine and inserted the tape with the utmost care, pressing play and praying that for one, the tape contained what we hoped, and two, that it didn’t savage it like a dog chewing on a bone.
In amongst the hiss and crackle, a monstrous 909 kick drum began to thud – Daft Punk’s Drive track had been rediscovered. Playing through was live Daft Punk: the freaky vocals, pounding Roland drums & synths and that distinctive DP compression. After standing in awed silence, witnessing this moment, the track faded off and we heard the sounds of French words that the recording had been made over; the remnants of their parents audio collection. The tape had originally been sent with Rollin’ and Scratchin’ to be released as Soma25 but Soma asked these two bright-eyed and techno-bound Frenchmen, to finish and send Da Funk instead and DRIVE was shelved for a later date. Until now.”
