Dee Brown - Dangerous Roses

We're big fans of Atlanta's Dee Brown here at the HotBox. His particular brand of Hip-Hop drifts away from the far more mainstream 'Atlanta chopped 'n' screwed', focusing instead on lyrical finesse coupled with melodic beat production. It's an excellent formula and one that truly paid off in Dee Brown's most recent full release, the acclaimed 'Sleep Walking Diaries'.
Since then, Dee has been hard at work on the single 'Dangerous Roses', which has progressed from it's teaser to become a fully fledged release, complete with video...viewable here.
In 'Dangerous Roses' Dee is on top form with both the tight delivery and the kind of lyrical prowess we've come to expect since first hearing 'Sleep Walking Diaries'. Perhaps the most notable difference can be found in his production style, which has matured to the point where the previous minor mastering issues of his earlier releases are non-existent in 'Dangerous Roses'.
While the more somber tones of rejection and jaded love may be enough to put some people off the single, 'Dangerous Roses' is nonetheless another highly accomplished release under the belt of Dee Brown and a sign of yet more good things to come from this talented wordsmith.

Dee Brown - Sleep Walking Diaries

We're always in the market for decent hip-hop here at The HotBox, so when Atlanta's Dee Brown sent over his track 'Sleep Walking Diaries' he immediately grabbed our attention. We were admittedly a little skeptical, the signature Atlanta 'chopped and screwed' style isn't normally our flavour, however Dee Brown isn't your normal Atlanta rapper.
Tight flows, rapid word play and soulful beats; this ain't 'chopped and screwed hip-pop', Dee Brown spits 100% pure emotional hip-hop. It's refreshing, it's new, and most of all raw.....reminiscent of artists all the way from Blu to LeftBoy and ChillBump.
Check out 'Sleep Walking Diaries' as well as his other singles below, all of which are available for FREE via Soundcloud. This guy is going places, no doubts about that.
