Leather
It’s becoming overwhelmingly clear that we’re going to have a new meaning for Ol’ Number 7. Yes, we all know of that moniker’s ties to the classic sour mash whiskey. And for all of you Mile High Magic fans, you know we think of one thing when we hear “Number 7.” However, LA grunge rapper Jez Dior keeps dropping tunes that make us want to associate just one more thing with that profound nickname, and with one listen through “Leather,” you’ll understand why.
Dropping earlier today on Mr. Dior’s soundcloud, “Leather” boasts a slightly more speedy flow than what we’re used to from this budding young artist. While he casually speeds over counts, at times, he slows it up with ease, switching up lyrical cadence at the drop of a pin. That classic change of pace becomes even more evident when he switches gears to those smokey choruses, this time, completed with crunchy guitar riffs.
We would be remiss to glaze over the instrumentals, whose percussion-heavy approach provide a sturdy backbone for the artfully crafted lyrics. It’s a match made in harmony, one of which we won’t be able to soon forget. Get used to hitting repeat on this one. It’s pretty much a guarantee.
